Overview

Cursor supports VS Code extensions, but does not connect to the Open VSX Registry by default. To install CybeDefend in Cursor, you need to download the .vsix file and install it manually.

​
Getting Started

1

Download the .vsix file

Go to the CybeDefend extension page on Open VSX and download the latest .vsix file:

Install in Cursor

Open Cursor and install the extension using one of these methods:Option A — Command Palette:
  1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
  2. Type “Extensions: Install from VSIX…”
  3. Select the downloaded .vsix file
Option B — Terminal:
cursor --install-extension path/to/cybedefend-cybedefend-<version>.vsix

Configure & Scan

Follow the same setup steps as VS Code: select your region, authenticate via OAuth 2.0, configure your project, and start scanning.
See the VS Code Extension guide for detailed step-by-step instructions — the workflow is identical.
When a new version of CybeDefend is released, you will need to download and install the updated .vsix file manually. Cursor does not auto-update extensions installed from .vsix files.
