Cursor said on 13 October 2026 that Origin, its new home for storing code, now works with more than 20 outside apps, and that anyone building developer tools can now submit their own [1].
What Origin is
Origin is Cursor’s own git forge: a place to host code repositories, much like GitHub or GitLab, according to Cursor’s documentation [2]. Teams can create repositories, push and pull code with standard git, copy a project over from GitHub, open, review and merge pull requests, and search code in the browser. Cursor’s AI agents and automations can work directly with Origin repositories [2].
Cursor says Origin is in early beta. It is available on paid plans (Start, Pro, Pro+, Ultra, Teams and Enterprise) but not on the free plan, and access is opening in stages [2].
The apps
Cursor’s changelog says Origin now integrates with “over 20 apps for deployments, CI, code review, security, monitoring, and project management”, from partners including Cloudflare, Linear, Sentry and Socket Security [1]. The full list it names is:
- Deployments: Cloudflare, Netlify, Render, Spacelift and Vercel
- CI (automatic building and testing): 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
Open to everyone
“Starting today, the marketplace is also open to public submissions, so any team building developer tools can publish an app for Origin,” Cursor said [1].
According to the changelog and Cursor’s publishing guide, the steps are [1][3]:
- Build privately. Create an app in your own namespace. It stays private while you work on it.
- Connect to Origin. Apps sign in with an app JWT (a signed token that proves which app is calling) and installation access tokens (keys tied to each team that installs the app). They receive webhook events and can post back check runs, pull request comments and reviews.
- Go public and submit. Make the app public, then submit it with a slug, suggested tags and a demo video showing install, uninstall and the main features. Cursor’s guide suggests a video of about five to ten minutes.
- Cursor reviews it. Once Cursor approves the app, it is listed in the marketplace for every Origin team and the developer gets an email.
What this means
- Origin is becoming a GitHub alternative. An app marketplace is what turns a code host into a platform, and Cursor has signed up well-known deployment, testing and security tools at launch.
- Cursor stays the gatekeeper. Anyone can submit, but nothing is listed until Cursor approves it.
- It is still early. Origin is in beta and only on paid plans, so most developers will not see these apps yet.
