Save time by delegating issues and features to Cursor for execution. Assign a ClickUp task to Cursor and it will work in the background, freeing you to focus on more important tasks. Once the task is complete, the Cursor agent will automatically update you with a task comment.
You can track progress directly in ClickUp or the Cursor web app.

Use Cursor in ClickUp
Cursor is designed to work seamlessly alongside human teammates.
There are three ways to use Cursor:
| Trigger | Use |
| Manually assign a task to the Cursor agent | When a task description clearly outlines the problem and proposed solution, manually assign the task to your Cursor agent. |
|
@mention Cursor in task comments Cursor agents are not traditional assignees. Assigning a task to a Cursor agent triggers the agent to act on it, but a human teammate remains responsible for its completion. |
When you need to add additional context to complete the task, @mention your Cursor agent in your task comment. The agent will use the context from both your comment and the task. |
| Create an Automation that assigns tasks to Cursor or @mentions Cursor in a comment. | If you have a very clear process for tasks and want to automate part of the workflow, create an Automation to assign tasks to your Cursor agent. For example, you could set up an Automation that assigns bug tasks to your Cursor agent after the tasks have been defined and reviewed. |
If you're unsure what the Cursor agent can assist you with, add as much detail as possible to your task, then @mention the Cursor agent in a comment asking for help.
