Cursor launches Origin, its own code hosting, in early beta
Cursor has launched Origin, a code hosting service rolling out today in early beta to all paid plans, putting the AI coding company into direct territorial overlap with GitHub.
Cursor said Origin begins rolling out today in early beta to all paid plans, except enterprise organizations whose admins opt out. The company describes the initial scope as "the essentials, designed for agent scale": repositories, pull requests, code browsing and GitHub sync, with agent-native features promised later.
Repos live in a new Codebase tab. Users create a repo, install a CLI, then clone or push a local project. The codebase name becomes part of every repo URL — Cursor's example is cursor.com/codebase/acme-corp.
Rather than requiring a migration, Origin sits alongside GitHub. Users connect a GitHub org, choose which repos to sync, and can disconnect at any time; icons distinguish Cursor-hosted repos from synced ones. Synced repos update in real time and can be browsed, searched and pulled from Origin, but pushes still go to GitHub, which Cursor says "stays the source of truth for anything started there."
Pull requests on synced repos sync both ways: comments posted in Cursor appear on GitHub and replies show up in Cursor within seconds, and reviews assigned on GitHub can be merged from Cursor. Cursor's agent can answer questions about code being browsed, make changes, update PRs or push a branch.
Cursor also opened an app ecosystem, with integrations live for Vercel (per-PR preview deployments), Depot and Buildkite for CI; both CI providers run existing GitHub Actions workflows.
Cursor did not disclose pricing beyond paid-plan inclusion, storage or repo limits, or a general-availability date.
