Why Rebuild General Agents? Introducing pycursor_agent

TL;DR: Why rebuild general agents when Cursor already provides a capable one? I built `pycursor_agent` to invoke Cursor's agent directly from Python scripts and pipelines.

We’re already paying for Cursor. Cursor already has a pretty capable agent at a competitive price.

So why are we still rebuilding general agents with expensive API keys and complex workflows? 🤔

I hacked a tiny package called pycursor_agent. It lets you invoke Cursor Agent directly from Python, so you can reuse Cursor’s agent capabilities in scripts or pipelines. 🚀

It literally took about 5 minutes to build with Cursor. It hasn’t been heavily tested yet and may have bugs, but it’s already usable and might spark some ideas. 🧪

Curious if others are doing similar hacks around Cursor — for example, for multi-agent orchestration 🤖
