Why it mattersAny team that builds developer tooling can now put a product in front of Cursor users without a direct deal with Cursor, which changes who decides what agents can call.
Any team that builds developer tooling can list a product in Cursor's Origin App Marketplace from today, without a direct deal with Cursor.
Cursor announced the change in its changelog on 13 October 2026. Origin, the integration framework behind Cursor's bots, had already launched with partner integrations for a small set of named vendors. The marketplace page now carries 21 apps across six categories, and it accepts submissions from anybody building against the Origin API.
What is in the marketplace at launch
Cursor lists the apps by category:
- Deployments: Cloudflare, Netlify, Render, Spacelift and Vercel.
- CI: Buildkite, CircleCI, CloudBees, Depot, EngFlow, Namespace and RWX.
- Code review: CodeRabbit, Greptile and Tenki.
- Security: Artemis Security, Semgrep, Socket Security and Upwind.
- Monitoring: Sentry.
- Project management: Linear.
CI is the biggest category at launch, with seven apps. Monitoring and project management each have one. Nothing is listed yet for logs, databases or feature flags, which are the obvious gaps for anyone deciding whether to build a submission.
How a submission works
Cursor says a developer builds an app inside their own namespace while it is private. The app authenticates against the Origin API with an app JWT and installation access tokens, receives webhook events, and writes back check runs, pull request comments and reviews. The webhook plus check-run shape is close to how a GitHub App works, which should keep the porting work small for a team that already runs one on GitHub.
Once an app is ready, the developer makes it public and submits it from the app's page with a slug, suggested tags and a demo video that covers install, uninstall and the core product flows. Cursor says it reviews each submission before listing.
Cursor also points at an Origin Apps plugin that answers questions from the live Origin API docs and plans a port to Origin for an app a team already runs.
The change this is
The review step on the Cursor side means the marketplace is not fully open: Cursor still decides what gets listed. But the hiring, legal and commercial step that used to sit between a developer tool and a Cursor user is gone, so what a submission competes with is other submissions rather than a direct business development queue.
Two of the categories read as agent surfaces rather than human-only ones. Code review (CodeRabbit, Greptile, Tenki) and security (Artemis, Semgrep, Socket, Upwind) write check runs that a Cursor agent sees, acts on and reports back from, which means a vendor's product can reach an agent by releasing an Origin app. For teams building anything an agent might call, Cursor is now a route to users that is reachable without a sales conversation.
