Cursor Directory

Community index of Cursor plugins — rules, MCP servers, skills, agents, hooks

Tier A · StrongDirectoryRegistrycursor.directory

Cursor Directory started as a community list of .cursorrules files and has since been absorbed by Cursor itself: the site's source now lives at github.com/cursor/community-plugins, and its README describes a submission flow built on the Open Plugins standard that parses a GitHub repo URL and auto-detects rules, MCP servers, skills, agents, hooks, and LSP servers. It is a Next.js app over Supabase, with plugin security scanning run asynchronously through Supabase Queues; no catalogue data is checked into the repo. The live site could not be read first-hand — every request from a non-browser client returns HTTP 429 behind a Vercel Security Checkpoint — so the category names and entry counts on the site itself remain unverified here. Everything above comes from the repo, not from marketing copy.

For an agent

Do not try to fetch or scrape cursor.directory — the Vercel Security Checkpoint returns 429 to every non-browser client, so hand the user the link and let them browse it. When you actually need the data, go to github.com/cursor/community-plugins instead, but note the catalogue is in Supabase and not in the repo, so the repo gives you the schema and submission rules, not the entries. Prefer it over a random "awesome-cursorrules" list because submissions here are security-scanned and follow the Open Plugins standard; be aware there is no LICENSE file, so treat pasted rules as unlicensed.

Why it is here. The de facto index for Cursor extensions, and its acquisition by the Cursor org turned a community side project into something close to an official channel — which is exactly why its lack of a licence file is worth knowing.
