Direct workspace integration for Cursor

Inject real-time cloud data into your code generation process. Use `get_workspace` to pull environment details and `list_workspaces` to switch between your active dev environments. Your AI agent uses these results to write code that matches your actual cloud configuration. Stop relying on stale mock files when you can fetch live specs.

Agentic build and task handling

Trigger long-running tasks or builds without breaking your flow. Use `create_user_task` to queue background operations and `list_tasks` to check their progress. When a build hangs, just tell your agent to run `cancel_workspace_build`. It keeps your development cycle moving while you stay focused on your logic.

Deep environment visibility

Debug your remote containers without leaving the editor. Fetch logs with `get_agent_logs` or inspect network details via `get_agent_debug_magicsock`. These tools provide the raw data your agent needs to fix configuration drift. You get precise answers based on the current state of your remote machine.

Setup guide
