Cursor

Cursor is an AI code editor whose cloud agents can read a GitHub issue, propose a fix as a pull request, and iterate on review comments. A Cursor connection in Firetiger surfaces Cursor in the Fix ▾ dropdown on every issue — clicking it opens a Cursor session seeded with the issue’s description and investigation details.

This page covers setting up the connection. For the end-to-end workflow (what happens after you click Fix), see Fixing issues with coding agents.

Recommended: Create and manage connections via the web UI at https://ui.cloud.firetiger.com/integrations/connections.

Installation

  1. Generate a Cursor API key at cursor.com/dashboard/cloud-agents under My User API Keys. The key should start with key_.

  2. In the Firetiger UI, navigate to Integrations → Connections, click New Connection, and select Cursor from the picker.

  3. Fill in the form:

    Field Description
    Display name Shows up verbatim in the Fix ▾ dropdown. If you have multiple Cursor keys (e.g., one per team), give each a distinct name like “Cursor — platform team”.
    Description Free-text context. Not shown to Cursor itself; just helps your teammates recognize the connection.
    API Key Paste the key_... value from step 1. Stored encrypted and never returned via the API; omit it on subsequent edits to keep the existing value.

  4. Click Create Connection. Cursor now appears in the Fix ▾ dropdown on any issue.

What gets created

A single Connection resource with:

Field Value
connection_id Whatever you supplied in Display name, kebab-cased, or an auto-generated cursor-... id
connection_type CONNECTION_TYPE_CURSOR
display_name The value you entered
secret_id Managed by Firetiger’s secrets backend — the API key itself is never returned

No webhooks, no GitHub App install, no extra side effects — just a stored credential and a row that shows up in the Fix dropdown.

Multiple Cursor connections

You can register as many Cursor connections as you want. Each one renders as a separate row in the Fix ▾ dropdown with its own display name, so you can scope keys per team, environment, or seat allocation without forcing users to pick between them at configuration time — they pick at fix time.

Revoking a key

To rotate a compromised or expired Cursor key:

  1. Revoke it at cursor.com/dashboard/cloud-agents.
  2. In Firetiger, go to Integrations → Connections, find the Cursor connection, click Edit, and paste the new key.

If you omit the API key on edit, Firetiger keeps the previous value — useful for updating only the display name or description without touching the credential.

Capabilities

A configured Cursor connection enables:

  • Fix-from-issue — Fix ▾ → Cursor on any issue detail or issue-card surface, seeded with the issue’s description and details.
  • Multiple simultaneous sessions — clicking Cursor on different issues launches independent Cursor agent sessions that work in parallel.
