Cursor model provider using the official proprietary Cursor SDK.

## Good to know before installing

Uses Cursor's proprietary cursor-sdk (PyPI, bundled binary bridge on loopback) with the user's CURSOR_API_KEY; sends the full conversation, tool schemas/results and images (HTTPS URLs or base64) to Cursor; keeps private per-session SDK workspaces under HERMES_HOME/cache/cursor-sdk; Cursor built-in tools and MCP are requested off and Hermes keeps tool execution and approvals.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install cursor-provider
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable cursor-provider
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
