OpenPrompt for Cursor
Cursor stays your AI coding environment. OpenPrompt sits above the editor, not inside it: it keeps a history of every Cursor prompt, ties each one to the lines it changed, and coordinates Cursor with your other agents.
How Cursor prompts are captured
Cursor keeps a chat log in each project folder. OpenPrompt reads those on-disk transcripts, so no Accessibility permission is needed. Add the folder to an OpenPrompt project and every prompt is filed automatically.
Each project owns one or more folders, and the longest matching folder wins, so a repo nested inside another still files correctly. Prompts from folders no project owns are discarded.
Cursor capture has its own switch under Monitor my IDEs in the app. While it is off, Cursor prompts are not saved.
What you get for every prompt
- One thread for every tool, with code blocks and file paths kept as they were typed. Filter by source or favourites, or search.
- The Prompt Time Machine: open a capture to see the exact lines that prompt changed, then copy it, revert the whole turn, discard one file, or open its diff.
- A project context file at
.openprompt/OpenPrompt.context.mdc, refreshed automatically with your instructions, recent prompts and the files they changed. - Commits straight from the diff, with a generated commit message.
Cursor as an agent
Cursor is also one of the agent CLIs OpenPrompt can drive. Connect it in Agent Mode and it can plan and run tasks alongside Claude, Codex, Antigravity and Copilot. In a routed pipeline, a connected CLI plans the task and each sub-task runs on an agent.
Agent CLIs run under your own accounts and licences. What they send, retain and charge for is governed by that vendor, not by OpenPrompt.
Set it up
- Download OpenPrompt for macOS, Windows or Linux and sign in.
- Create a project and add the repository folder you open in Cursor.
- Check that Cursor is on under Monitor my IDEs.
- Keep working in Cursor. New prompts appear in the project’s thread as you send them.
Where the data lives
Captured prompts stay on your machine, in SQLite at ~/.openprompt/prompts.db. Credential-shaped files (env files, .pem and .key files, anything named credentials or containing "secret") are never indexed. You can pause any project from its ⋯ menu in the sidebar, and the privacy policy lists exactly what is sent and when.
