- The Environments API is available in beta to configure cloned repositories and environment.json setup files programmatically.
- Cloud agent environments now support up to 500 repositories.
- Multi-repo environment startup speeds are up to 5x faster.

## Why it matters

Developers using Cursor's cloud agents can now automate environment setup across large codebases and generate shareable visual artifacts during agent runs.
