Cursor introduces Customize page to manage plugins, skills, and MCPs
TL;DR
Cursor adds a Customize page to manage plugins, skills, MCPs, subagents, rules, commands, and hooks. The update includes a marketplace leaderboard, prebuilt canvases, and repository import support.
What changed
Cursor rolled out a new Customize page that lets developers, Vibe Builders, and Basic Users manage plugins, skills, MCPs, subagents, rules, commands, and hooks from one location. The page adds a marketplace leaderboard, prebuilt canvases for Hex and Atlassian, and direct import of plugin repositories.
Why it matters
Vibe Builders gain a single view to test imported plugins against their existing rules without switching contexts, a clear improvement over scattered settings in tools like VS Code. Basic Users working with Atlassian canvases can now review the leaderboard to pick options that match daily command needs. Developers save steps when pulling in repositories for subagent setups.
What to watch for
Compare the new page against Continue.dev to see how leaderboard rankings differ on shared plugins. Open the Customize page in Cursor and import one repository to verify the canvas loads correctly for your workflow.
Who this matters for
- Vibe Builders: Centralize your custom rules and subagent hooks in the Customize page to refine agentic behavior.
- Basic Users: Use the marketplace leaderboard to find and install prebuilt Atlassian or Hex plugin canvases.
Harsh’s take
Cursor is aggressively moving beyond being a simple fork of VS Code by building a proprietary orchestration layer. The new Customize page is a direct play for the Vibe Builder market, centralizing MCPs and subagents in a way that standard IDEs still treat as fragmented extensions. By adding a marketplace leaderboard, they are gamifying plugin discovery and creating a moat around their specific implementation of agentic hooks.
This update signals that the future of coding is less about writing syntax and more about managing the ecosystem of tools that write it for you. The inclusion of prebuilt canvases for enterprise tools like Atlassian suggests Cursor is targeting professional workflows where integration speed is the primary bottleneck. Operators should stop viewing Cursor as just an editor and start treating it as a command center for AI agents.
