Cursor launches Origin, its own code hosting service, in early beta

Archive entry: this covers an event from August 17, 2026, and we published it on November 8, 2026. The details come from sources dated at the time and may have changed since.

On August 17, 2026, Cursor launched Origin, a code host inside Cursor, as an early beta for paid plans. Cursor announced it in the changelog entry Origin Code Hosting. Repositories in Origin were placed under a Codebase tab, and the first release covered repositories, pull requests, a code browser and syncing with GitHub.

What the first release included

• Repositories and pull requests: Origin hosted repositories and pull requests inside Cursor, under the Codebase tab.
• Code browser: the first release included a code browser alongside repositories and pull requests.
• GitHub sync: pull requests on linked GitHub repositories updated in both directions.
• Integrations: Vercel, Depot and Buildkite integrations were live, with more planned.

What it means for people building with AI

Cursor offered its own place to host repositories and review pull requests, with two-way sync for teams that stay on GitHub. Because pull requests on linked GitHub repositories updated in both directions, a team could try Origin without leaving GitHub. The first release was limited to repositories, pull requests, a code browser and GitHub syncing, and the agent-focused features Cursor planned to follow were not part of it.

Availability and next steps

Origin launched as an early beta for paid plans from August 17, 2026. Cursor said agent-focused features were planned to follow, and that more integrations were planned in addition to Vercel, Depot and Buildkite.
