Summary

  • The core now delivers Relay messages to agents in the Cursor editor, not only Cursor CLI, and wakes an idle agent when one arrives. Ported from relay-desktop 1b2856ce and 6d8ab4fc, core parts only.
  • relay init sets Cursor up: MCP config in ~/.cursor/mcp.json, delivery hooks in ~/.cursor/hooks.json, and the skill. relay init --uninstall removes only what init added.
  • PROBE_VERSION stays 15.0.7 here. The editor route needs the next core release, so the pin bumps at release. Until then Cursor gets the existing CLI route.

Left out: Cursor Cloud sync and the relayhistory 0.54.1 bump (a separate PR), GTK and Swift changes, and process/snapshot.rs (relay has no ProcessSnapshot). No routing or key-origin code is touched.

Test Plan

  • Tests added/updated: editor routing, idle wake, hook settings, relay init delivery, uninstall, and a core refusing the setting
  • Manual testing completed: not done yet. A live Cursor editor test, including waking an idle agent, must pass before merge

crates/probe, before rebasing onto the 15.0.2 release: default features 3555 passed, 2 failed; --no-default-features 2779 passed, 1 failed. All three failures also happen on clean main at 7d01906dc: two history_flush timing checks and relay_core_binary::the_binary_serves_answers_calls_and_stops_with_its_host. CLI package: 2667 passed, 0 failed; after final formatting only agent-tools-mcp.test.ts was rerun, 132 passed. All of this used fake cores; a real relay init hasn't been run, and Cursor detection hasn't been checked against a real install.

RelayFlow Proof

No case declared, as with recent feat PRs #2037, #2017 and #2006. A live Cursor session can't run in CI.

Agent Relay sessions

kjgbot and others added 2 commits November 1, 2026 11:37
Ports relay-desktop 1b2856ce and 6d8ab4fc's editor route: editor
sessions register and receive through the existing Cursor hooks, and the
stop hook can wait to wake an idle agent. Signing checks move to
process/macos_signing.rs so Cursor can share them. Cursor Cloud sync and
its relayhistory bump are left for a separate change.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
relay init now connects Cursor like the other tools: the Relay MCP server
in .cursor/mcp.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json, the skill in ~/.cursor/skills,
and the core's cursor_direct_delivery hooks. Uninstall removes only what
init added. Editor delivery needs the core release that follows this PR.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Cursor to relay init setup and delivery configuration. It adds editor conversation discovery, ownership tracking, and hook-based message delivery. Cursor stop hooks can wait for messages after a completed turn, subject to process, turn, conversation, and settings checks.

Changes: Cursor editor and CLI relay

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cursor setup and CLI configuration
CHANGELOG.md, packages/cli/src/cli/..., docs/*
The init flow now includes Cursor MCP targets, delivery hooks, and the Cursor skills directory. The changelog and setup documentation describe these additions. Tests cover Cursor setup and uninstall behavior.
Trusted Cursor process identification
crates/probe/src/relay/process*
Process tables now identify trusted Cursor executables. Linux install paths and macOS signatures have platform-specific checks, with fake-process support and tests.
Editor conversation ownership and discovery
crates/probe/src/relay/cursor_cli.rs, crates/probe/src/relay/cursor_cli/editor*
Verified editor hosts can register and own conversation records. Live sessions include workspace and transcript-derived title data, and tool ancestry can resolve a recorded conversation.
Hook attribution and message routing
crates/probe/src/relay/cursor_cli.rs, crates/probe/src/relay/cursor_cli/inbox.rs, crates/probe/src/relay/local*, crates/probe/src/relay/hook_agents.rs
Hook routing distinguishes Cursor CLI callers from editor hosts. Inbox delivery, local reply resolution, and agent-nearness checks now recognize editor conversations.
Waiting stop hooks
crates/probe/src/probe/relay_commands.rs, crates/probe/src/relay/cli.rs, crates/probe/src/relay/cursor_cli/{settings,wait}*
The --wait option is passed to the Cursor hook command. Installed stop hooks use waiting settings, and waiting hooks check turn freshness, process ownership, and hook installation while claiming messages.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

A rabbit taps a prompt at dawn,
Cursor wakes and carries on.
A waiting hook keeps watch in flight,
Then hands a message at the right turn’s light.
The burrow hums; the queue is clear,
And carrots celebrate the year.

Summary

Adds Relay delivery to Cursor editor conversations, including waking an idle agent, and adds Cursor setup and uninstall support to relay init.

  • Cursor editor chats appear in Relay and receive messages through its local inbox.
  • A waiting Cursor editor chat wakes when Relay stages a message.
  • relay init sets up Cursor’s MCP connection, delivery hooks, and skill.

Minor · Keep user-authored $schema when uninstall removes the Cursor MCP… · agent-tools-mcp.ts:265-276

packages/cli/src/cli/lib/agent-tools-mcp.ts:265-276
Minor · Data Integrity & Integration · Quick win

Keep user-authored $schema when uninstall removes the Cursor MCP entry.

When ~/.cursor/mcp.json already holds {"mcpServers": {}, "$schema": ...}, the MCP install adds the managed agent-relay entry and keeps $schema. uninstall then removes that entry and deletes the whole file. removeEntryFile leaves $schema out of its emptiness check, so the file counts as empty. Its doc comment says only a file relay init created should be deleted. This file was not created by init, so the deletion removes user configuration.

The MCP install for Cursor runs when injection is not used for it. That happens with --delivery mcp, when the core is unavailable, or when Cursor's injection setup fails.

Count $schema as content for every target except OpenCode. Init writes $schema only for OpenCode.

Suggested fix
-    const keys = Object.keys(doc).filter((key) => key !== '$schema');
+    const keys = Object.keys(doc).filter((key) => key !== '$schema' || target.id !== 'opencode');

Minor · Data Integrity & Integration · Quick win

Preserve customized Cursor hooks for the Cursor-aware core.

This path is reachable when AGENT_RELAY_PROBE_PATH selects the Cursor-aware core, or after the CLI pin moves past 15.0.7. enableDelivery then calls settings.set(true) when a matching custom hook lacks the waiting stop entry. The Cursor setter removes every matching command before installing its hooks. Uninstall can remove the same custom hook through settings.set(false).

Track hook provenance and remove only hooks created by init. Do not use command shape alone as ownership. The default 15.0.7 path does not include this new core behavior.
