# Cursor SDK Turns Its Coding Agent Into Programmable Developer Infrastructure

> Cursor launches a TypeScript SDK in public beta, letting teams embed its full coding agent runtime into CI/CD pipelines, internal tools, and customer-facing products.

Cursor launched the [Cursor SDK](https://cursor.com/blog/typescript-sdk) in public beta: a TypeScript package that gives any application programmatic access to the same agent runtime powering the Cursor desktop app, CLI, and web interface. This is the full harness, including codebase indexing, subagents, hooks, MCP integrations, and cloud execution on dedicated VMs.
