What is Cursor?
Cursor's Agent SDK turns custom agents into code projects you can test, then deploy anywhere.
Cursor has grown from an editor into a delivery platform: Projects coordinates cloud agents, Origin hosts repos with a 20+ app marketplace, Rollouts watches deploys, and the Environments API scripts agent sandboxes. On October 20 the Agent SDK went GA. An agent is now a folder with a prompt, typed tools, skills, MCP connections and channels, tested with evals and deployed either to Cursor or to the team's own infrastructure.
What is Redocly?
Redocly gives its docs MCP server its own name and public endpoint settings.
Redocly shipped a dense fix cycle across Reunite, its docs framework and the AsyncAPI plugin, mostly around access: 30-day sessions on hosted projects, fixed project lists for restricted members, and invites that no longer demote owners. On October 27 Reunite started saving the project config for Realm Plus builds, so access rules, AI assistant and MCP hide options and publish rules match the live site. @redocly/config 0.68.0 replaces the mcp.docs object with mcp.name, mcp.ignore and mcp.publicEndpoint options.

Cursor

Cursor's Agent SDK turns custom agents into code projects you can test, then deploy anywhere.
◆ Current state
Cursor has grown from an editor into a delivery platform: Projects coordinates cloud agents, Origin hosts repos with a 20+ app marketplace, Rollouts watches deploys, and the Environments API scripts agent sandboxes. On October 20 the Agent SDK went GA. An agent is now a folder with a prompt, typed tools, skills, MCP connections and channels, tested with evals and deployed either to Cursor or to the team's own infrastructure.
◆ Where it's heading
The last month has been about opening Cursor's agent stack to outside code: partner apps write into Origin, the Environments API exposes sandboxes, and the Agent SDK lets teams build their own bots on the same runtime. Agents that wake on PR, CI, Slack, webhook and cron events push Cursor past the IDE into always-on team automation. Cursor is selling the agent runtime itself, not just its own agents.
◆ Prediction
Expect more starter templates and SDK-built agents to appear in the app marketplace, and tighter links between SDK agents and Projects or Rollouts. Whether self-hosted deploys get the same dashboard tooling as Cursor-hosted ones is not yet clear from the entries.
Redocly
6.3INFRA · APIS
Redocly gives its docs MCP server its own name and public endpoint settings.
◆ Current state
Redocly shipped a dense fix cycle across Reunite, its docs framework and the AsyncAPI plugin, mostly around access: 30-day sessions on hosted projects, fixed project lists for restricted members, and invites that no longer demote owners. On October 27 Reunite started saving the project config for Realm Plus builds, so access rules, AI assistant and MCP hide options and publish rules match the live site. @redocly/config 0.68.0 replaces the mcp.docs object with mcp.name, mcp.ignore and mcp.publicEndpoint options.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP server Redocly generates for docs sites is becoming a configurable product surface of its own, following last week's MCP-URL page actions. Around it, Reunite work stays focused on making permissions and config behave the same in Reunite as on the published site.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP and AI assistant options in @redocly/config, with follow-up fixes as Realm Plus projects move onto the Reunite config path.
