Story

Two major releases in one week. v2.4 introduces async recursive subagents (background execution, tree coordination) and CLI Plan Mode (/plan). v2.5 adds a full plugin marketplace at cursor.com/marketplace with Amplitude, AWS, Figma, Linear, Stripe, Vercel, and others as launch partners. Plugins bundle MCP servers, skills, subagents, and hooks into single installs. New sandbox network access controls let you define allowed domains during execution. Action: Browse cursor.com/marketplace. Configure sandbox access controls. (Cursor Changelog)
