Cursor | ElevenLabs Documentation

Overview

Connect your ElevenLabs AI agents with Cursor to launch and manage background coding agents that work on your GitHub repositories. Your agents can start coding tasks, create pull requests, check agent progress, and send follow-up instructions through the available tools.

Setup

This integration uses a Cursor API key for authentication.

Get your Cursor API key

Go to your Cursor Dashboard, navigate to Integrations & MCP, and generate an API key.

Connect in ElevenLabs

In the ElevenLabs integration setup, paste your Cursor API key in the API Key field.

Free Plan API keys do not support Background Agent API usage. A paid Cursor plan is required.

Agent tools

When you add Cursor tools to an agent, the following built-in tools are available:

Tool	Description
`launch_cursor_agent`	Start a new Cursor background agent to work on a GitHub repository. The agent can add features, fix bugs, refactor code, and optionally create a pull request when finished.
`list_cursor_agents`	List all background agents for the authenticated user with their current status. Supports pagination.
`get_cursor_agent`	Retrieve the current status and results of a specific background agent by its ID.
`get_cursor_agent_conversation`	Retrieve the conversation history of a background agent, including all prompts and responses. Not available for deleted agents.
`add_cursor_agent_followup`	Send a follow-up instruction to an existing background agent to provide additional guidance while it is working.
