🚧 Pre-1.0 — APIs and UX are unstable This project is actively being developed. Features are implemented but may change. Check FEATURES_IMPLEMENTED.md for current status (~120 features implemented) and ROADMAP for what's planned.
An open-source AI code editor forked from VS Code. Bring your own API keys.
OpenCursor is a VS Code fork with built-in AI features. Unlike Cursor or GitHub Copilot, we don't lock you into a subscription. Use your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini API keys.
Key points:
- BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) - use your own API keys
- Works offline with Ollama for local AI
- Free and open source under Apache 2.0
Requirements:
- Node.js 18+
- npm or yarn
- Git
- Python 3.8+
Quick build:
git clone https://github.com/riftsh/Opencursor.git
cd Opencursor
git submodule update --init --recursive
npm install
npm run compile-fast
./scripts/code.shProduction build:
npm run compile
npm run compile-buildSee BUILD.md for detailed build instructions and troubleshooting.

This repo (Open-cursor-main) is the VS Code editor shell. The AI functionality is in the extensions/opencursor-submodule directory (forked from Continue.dev).
OpenCursor supports most VS Code extensions. Open the extensions panel (Cmd+Shift+X) and search. Note: Some Microsoft proprietary extensions won't work - use alternatives from Open VSX.
