Cursor
Deliver Briefs through your connected Cursor account, with Cursor handling the hosted environment and Hamster tracking the delivery.
Overview
The Cursor connection lets Hamster delegate Brief deliveries to Cursor Cloud Agents on your connected Cursor account.
Cursor owns repository access and cloud environment setup. Hamster sends the agreed work and context, tracks the run in the delivery thread, and links the result.
How It Works
- Connect the Cursor account whose Cloud Agents will handle deliveries.
- Grant Cursor access to the repository. Hamster provisions the cloud environment from Cursor's settings.
- In Hamster, start delivery from the Brief and choose Deliver with Cursor Cloud — pick the repository, branch, and model in the dialog.
- Follow progress and the final result from the Hamster delivery thread.
How to Connect
- Create a user API key in your Cursor account at cursor.com/dashboard > API Keys. Cursor keys start with
crsr_. A Cursor service-account key works too.
- In Hamster, go to Settings > Connections and click the Cursor card.
- Under Connect as, choose Yourself to keep the key private to you, or the team to share it with everyone. The team option appears if you can manage Connections.
- Paste the key into API Key and click Connect. Hamster rejects a key that isn't in the
crsr_ format.
Deliveries run on the Cursor plan behind the connected key, and pull requests open as that Cursor identity — so a personal key opens pull requests as you. If a team key is already saved, the dialog offers Replace team key instead.
