Welcome to the Cursor integration guide. This guide will help you connect ByteRover with Cursor in just a few minutes, giving your AI assistant persistent memory across all your coding sessions.

​
What You’ll Need

  • Cursor installed on your computer
  • A ByteRover account (free is fine)

​
Getting Started

​
1. Start the Connection

Go to your ByteRover dashboard and:
  1. Find the “Connect your agent” section
  2. Click on Cursor from the list of supported editors
  3. Hit the big “Connect with Cursor” button

​
2. Let ByteRover Do Its Thing

Here’s what happens automatically:
  • ByteRover creates an API key for your account
  • The ByteRover extension gets installed in Cursor
  • Everything connects behind the scenes

​
3. Say Yes to the Prompts

When Cursor asks:
  • Allow the ByteRover extension to install
  • Grant permissions when prompted
  • You’ll see a confirmation back in your ByteRover dashboard

​
Check It’s Working

In Cursor, you should see:
  • ByteRover icon in your extensions panel
  • Status showing “Connected”
Want to test it? Try asking Cursor’s AI: 
Save this date formatting function to ByteRover:

function formatDate(date, format = 'YYYY-MM-DD') {
  const year = date.getFullYear();
  const month = String(date.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
  const day = String(date.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
  return format
    .replace('YYYY', year)
    .replace('MM', month)
    .replace('DD', day);
}
If it works, you’ll get confirmation that the function was stored.

What’s Next?

Start coding normally in Cursor. When you solve interesting problems or create reusable patterns, just tell the AI to store them in ByteRover. Over time, you’ll build up a personal knowledge base that makes your AI assistant increasingly helpful.
