Afternoon everyone, not too sure if this is the right channel to put this in but I'm having a look into some AI agents, with the new MCP stuff being released, and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with Cursor and whether it's a viable option for us. We have a subscription to Claude and ChatGPT, so I've been trying to use them but found some annoying issues so far, not too sure if it's me or Cursor though. I'm still trying to get used to it all so sorry if some of my terminology is wrong.

You can use MCP servers in Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code (which is basically the codebase that Cursor uses) and Jetbrains Rider, among others.. so if you're familiar with those already, then I'd stick with those. I haven't tried Cursor for very long myself but it seems.. fine? 🙂
This AI thing is also moving at breakneck speed and it's impossible to keep up unless you make it your full time job it seems! So right now new tools are also popping up left and right, making it even harder to know what could be or will be best practice in a year or two.

I use Cursor in my daily work, it works great for Frontend, especially if you use a framework, but for .Net you need another IDE to be able to debug. Due to the licensing of MS. And I did some tweaking to make it better suitable for me. I use several MCP's to improve Cursor.

Thank you guys, I think I'm probably best off using VS code for MCP and other chat bots for general as we need it for .Net more than anything.
