Cursor adds Customize page and plugin canvases
TL;DR
Cursor's new Customize page centralizes management of plugins, skills, and MCPs. It adds a marketplace leaderboard, prebuilt canvases, and GitLab or Bitbucket imports for team marketplaces.
What changed
Cursor added a Customize page that brings plugin, skill, and MCP management into one location. Vibe Builders, Basic Users, and Developers now access a marketplace leaderboard, prebuilt plugin canvases, and GitLab or BitBucket imports for Team Marketplaces.
Why it matters
Developers streamline setup tasks in a single view similar to VS Code extension handling. Vibe Builders and Basic Users discover options faster through the leaderboard when building team marketplaces.
What to watch for
Compare the imports flow against VS Code extensions and verify by opening the Customize page in the latest Cursor build to test a sample GitLab import.
Who this matters for
- Vibe Builders: Use the marketplace leaderboard to curate high-performing plugins for your team workspace.
- Basic Users: Access the Customize page to quickly install prebuilt canvases without manual configuration.
Harsh’s take
Cursor is aggressively centralizing the developer experience by mimicking the VS Code extension ecosystem but with a tighter focus on AI orchestration. The addition of MCP management and plugin canvases in a single view reduces the friction of setting up complex agentic workflows. This is a direct play for team adoption: by supporting GitLab and BitBucket imports for Team Marketplaces, they are making it easier for enterprise squads to standardize their AI tooling.
Operators should stop treating Cursor as just a wrapper and start viewing it as a dedicated platform for AI-native development. The leaderboard feature is particularly useful for identifying which tools actually provide utility versus those that are just noise in a crowded market.
