Atolio for Cursor
Cursor, now with your company context powering every line of code
Cursor knows your repository. Atolio adds the design docs, tickets, incidents and decisions around it, scoped to each developer, from inside your environment.

What changes when Atolio powers Cursor
Context beyond the repo
The agent reads the spec, the ticket and the Slack decision, not just the code.
Fewer tokens per task
One call returns ranked, scoped context, so the agent skips searching each system in turn. This uses up to 80% fewer tokens.
Each developer’s permissions
Permissions sync continuously from your source systems and are checked on every query.
Every call on the record
Each call is logged with the developer, the agent and the sources used.
Trusted by teams across leading enterprises
Connect once, through Atolio’s MCP endpoint
Add Atolio’s endpoint to Cursor and sign in with your identity provider. Your admins choose who can connect.

FAQs
Questions about Cursor and Atolio
You connect Atolio to Cursor by adding Atolio’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint as a remote MCP server.
A developer or platform team adds the endpoint once, for a project or for everyone. The first time each developer uses it, Cursor opens a sign-in to Atolio through your single sign-on (SSO), and every request after that runs as that developer.
Access is off by default on the Atolio side. Your Atolio admins approve which tools can connect and which people can use them, so you can roll out to one team first.
The same endpoint works in Cursor’s editor agent, the Cursor CLI and background agents. You can also set which Atolio tools run without asking, using Cursor’s own approval settings.
Cursor’s settings change often, so we keep step-by-step instructions in the Atolio setup guide rather than on this page.
Turning a tool or a developer off in Atolio takes effect on their next request, so pausing a rollout is a single change.
No, Atolio doesn’t replace Cursor’s codebase indexing. It adds the context that lives outside the code.
Cursor indexes your repository so its agent understands files, symbols and structure. Most of the reasoning behind code lives somewhere else: design docs, tickets, incident reviews, architecture decisions and team threads.
Atolio indexes those systems inside your environment, with their permissions, and gives Cursor’s agent one place to ask. When a developer asks why an endpoint behaves a certain way, the agent can find the ticket and the decision, not just the function.
The two work together. Cursor handles what’s in the repo, and Atolio handles everything around it, in one call that returns ranked, cited context.
Teams typically see the agent use up to 80% fewer tokens on tasks that need company context, because it skips searching system by system.
Nothing changes in how developers use Cursor today. They ask the same questions, and the agent decides when it needs Atolio.
Atolio keeps your index in your environment, and Cursor receives only the context Atolio returns for each request.
Atolio runs in your own cloud account or on-prem, under your keys. Your documents, tickets, messages and their permissions stay there.
When Cursor’s agent asks Atolio a question, Atolio finds the passages that developer can see, ranks them and returns a short, cited answer. That response joins the agent’s context, along with the code Cursor already sends to its models, under your agreement with Cursor.
If your Cursor plan uses privacy mode, the same rules apply to the context Atolio returns as to the rest of the session.
Every call is logged in Atolio with the developer, the tool and the sources used, so your security team can see what reached the agent.
Your security team can review that log at any time, and it stays in your environment with everything else. Nothing about your repository changes: Cursor keeps handling code exactly as it does today.
Cursor’s agent sees only what the developer using it is allowed to see in each connected system.
Atolio indexes content together with its permissions. Permissions sync continuously from your source systems and are checked on every query, so a change in Jira or Confluence carries through in near real time.
Each request carries the signed-in developer’s identity. Atolio filters results to that user before ranking, so restricted content, such as a security incident a developer can’t access, never reaches the agent.
For background agents, admins can add a Knowledge Scope that limits the agent to engineering sources and specific projects. That keeps an automated agent’s reach narrower than any one user’s.
Every call is logged, including the agent that made it and the sources it used.
If a developer loses access to a project or a channel, the agent loses it too, without anyone updating a config file. That keeps the agent’s view in line with what the developer could open themselves.
Yes, one Atolio deployment serves Cursor and every other AI tool your teams use, at the same time.
Atolio’s endpoint follows the open Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, IBM Bob, Codex and Gemini CLI connect the same way Cursor does, and each reads the same permission-aware index.
Engineering teams rarely agree on one coding tool. With Atolio, the context behind your code is consistent whichever editor a developer prefers, and your platform team maintains one integration instead of one per tool.
The same index also serves non-engineering assistants such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, Claude and ChatGPT, so a product manager and an engineer get the same answer about the same decision.
Atolio shows usage and token spend by tool, team and agent, which helps you compare coding tools on real work.
Each tool still runs under its own vendor agreement, while Atolio applies the same permissions and logging to all of them. One deployment, one security review and one audit log cover every assistant your teams use, now and later.
