SailPoint has announced the release of the SailPoint Cursor Enterprise connector, designed to integrate with Cursor, a leading coding agent platform. This new connector enables organizations to securely govern both human software engineers and autonomous AI background agents from a single, unified control plane .
SailPoint released the Cursor Enterprise connector to govern both human and autonomous AI agents interacting with codebases from a unified control plane .
The connector integrates AI-native development workspaces directly into SailPoint Atlas, extending governance models to AI-driven development environments .
It enables organizations to see, govern, and audit every AI agent interacting with the codebase .
Autonomous AI agents can now plan changes, run tests, and contribute code, creating new identity and access governance challenges .
The connector ensures AI agents are bound by the same least-privilege governance policies as human developers .
The connector is available now through SailPoint.
SailPoint, Inc., a leader in enterprise identity security, today announced the release of the SailPoint Cursor Enterprise connector. Designed to integrate with Cursor, a leading coding agent platform, this new connector enables organizations to securely govern both human software engineers and autonomous AI background agents from a single, unified control plane .
As enterprises adopt AI to accelerate software development, engineering environments are expanding beyond human users alone. AI agents can now plan changes, run tests, and contribute code, creating new identity and access governance challenges for security and IT teams. This shift creates an entirely new class of identities that most security teams can't yet see, govern, or audit . Without centralized visibility, organizations confront a difficult choice: trust unmanaged AI tools with proprietary source code, or block them and slow the very productivity AI is meant to unlock .
To help businesses innovate securely at the speed of AI, the SailPoint Cursor Enterprise connector gives security teams the power to see and govern every human and AI agent interacting with their codebase. By integrating AI-native development workspaces directly into SailPoint Atlas, organizations can more confidently unleash the productivity of AI-driven software development without compromising the security of their software supply chain . This connector extends the governance model used for other business-critical systems to the AI-native developer environments .
The connector helps SailPoint customers ensure that as AI agents increasingly write, inspect, and modify code, they are bound by the same strict, least-privilege governance policies as human developers, eliminating critical security blind spots in the software supply chain .
Chandra Gnanasambandam, EVP of Product and Chief Technology Officer at SailPoint, said: “AI agents are the newest members of your engineering team, but they are often operating in the dark, without the 'digital ID badges' and access rules we require of human developers. Our new Cursor connector changes that. We're giving security teams the power to see and secure every AI agent interacting with their codebase, so businesses can innovate securely at the speed of AI” .
Brian McCarthy, President, Global Revenue and Field Operations at Cursor, said: “Just as every engineer needs the right permissions to commit code, every AI agent should have a governed identity. By partnering with SailPoint, Cursor is creating agent security options for our customers and ensuring that enterprises can confidently unleash the productivity of Cursor's agentic software development capabilities without compromising the security of their software supply chain” .
The connector builds on SailPoint's broader investment in AI security and governance. SailPoint has also enhanced its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server with a global URL and OAuth with PKCE, making it easier to connect AI assistants to Identity Security Cloud . The MCP Server lets AI assistants manage access requests through natural conversation, such as requesting roles, checking approval status, or canceling requests .
The SailPoint Entro Cursor Marketplace provides plugins that extend Cursor with governance capabilities, including visibility into agentic workflows, verifiable audit trails, and secret scanning to detect leaked secrets in prompts and tool calls .
