Cursor Cloud Agents Drop the GitHub Requirement Entirely
Cursor Changelog·medium signal
Cursor's 2026-08-27 changelog entry removes the connected GitHub or third-party SCM provider requirement for starting a Cloud Agent: you prompt from nothing and save the result to a Cursor Origin repo afterward. This closes the loop on Origin Code Hosting, which Cursor shipped ten days earlier on 08-17, and means a Cursor cloud agent can now run a project end to end without ever touching a third-party forge. It is the first Cursor changelog entry since 08-19.
