What it does

This skill adds Cursor as an alternative AI engine that NanoClaw can use for each chat group, instead of Claude only. Once installed, a group configured with the Cursor provider runs its agent through Cursor's local SDK inside the group's container, with planning, tool use, MCP tools and session resume. Your Cursor sign-in or API key is kept in the credential gateway, and the container only sees a placeholder value.

Great for

  • NanoClaw operators who want some groups to run on Cursor's agent instead of Claude
  • Developers comparing agent backends inside the same NanoClaw setup
  • Teams that already have a Cursor account and want to reuse it for local agent runs

Skip it if

  • People who only want to use Cursor's cloud agents; the skill explicitly says those are a different thing and not this provider
  • Anyone unwilling to run an install that rebuilds images, changes barrel files and pins a dependency in the project
  • Setups on an older NanoClaw core, since the pre-flight check stops the install if required seams are missing

Try asking

  • “Install the Cursor provider and set up sign-in with my Cursor account”
  • “Switch the marketing group to use Cursor as its agent provider”
  • “Refresh the Cursor provider files after updating NanoClaw”

  2. 2

    Add it to your agent

    Claude Code (all projects)

    mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && unzip add-cursor.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/

    Claude Code / Agent SDK (this project only)

    mkdir -p .claude/skills && unzip add-cursor.zip -d .claude/skills/

    Claude apps (web/desktop): Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload skill, and choose the ZIP.

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Run the pre-flight check first; if it reports no, run /update-nanoclaw before installing
  • Never paste your Cursor API key into chat; use the sign-in walk-through so the key goes straight to the credential gateway
  • Set the provider per group with ncl groups config update --provider cursor and test one group before switching others
