cursor: Cursor Desktop

Account boundary: inseparable: desktop credentials, chat state, SQLite global storage, and singleton behavior have no proven narrow split.

Cursor accepts VS Code-style user-data flags, but per adapter.json those flags do not prove separate desktop auth with shared conversations. The account-overlay contract is therefore not claimed.

Install

cursor.com/download

Binary discovery: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\cursor\Cursor.exe (Windows), /Applications/Cursor.app (macOS), /usr/bin/cursor or /opt/Cursor/cursor (Linux).

Quickstart

Use a whole-root profile for Cursor Desktop:

multi-cli new cursor/work --isolated
multi-cli launch cursor/work

For a process-token boundary, use the Cursor CLI adapter (cursor-cli).

Account boundary

  • Mechanism: inseparable: credentials, chat databases, and global storage are not proven separable.
  • Logout scope: user.
  • Concurrency: single instance per OS user (singletonScope: user).

Shared normal state

None claimed. adapter.json declares no shared, session, or file paths under the native root (%USERPROFILE%\.cursor on Windows, ~/.cursor on macOS/Linux).

Known limitations

  • Chat history lives in SQLite keyed to workspace state and cannot be portably shared or copied between profiles.
  • A narrower boundary requires proof that auth, chat databases, and single-instance behavior are separable; until then nothing is shared.
