Cursor 1.5: Linear Integration, Agent Terminal UX, OS Notifications

TL;DR

• Launch Background Agents directly from Linear issues without leaving your workflow
• Agent terminal redesigned with clearer blocking states and OS notifications
• MCP elicitation support for structured user input via JSON schemas
• Jupyter notebook improvements and five stability patches

New

• Linear integration for Agents — Start Background Agents directly from Linear issues. Delegate tasks to Cursor without context switching.
• OS notifications from Agent — Get native system notifications when agent runs finish or when input is required (e.g., approving non-allowlisted commands). Enable in Settings.
• MCP elicitation support — Cursor now supports the MCP spec's elicitation feature, allowing servers to request structured input via JSON schemas with validated responses.
• Improved Agent terminal review flow — Terminal now opens on the left with backdrop and border animation to highlight blocking states. Rejecting auto-focuses input for immediate response.
• Jupyter notebook enhancements — Tab now aware of full notebook context. Copy cell content in Chat references code instead of raw text. Edit notebook tools available for all models.

Improvements

• Context usage always shown in chat input
• GPT-5 with Agent now supports creating todos
• Added label showing when queued messages will be sent

Patches

• 1.5.1: Fixed critical crash with large files; improved memory management
• 1.5.2: Fixed command palette overflow and sidebar icon sizing
• 1.5.3: Resolved dropdown hover states and tooltip positioning
• 1.5.4: Fixed modal backdrop click behavior and button alignment
