Verify before you publish the claim

Tell someone how to act on this idea: "You don't need an enterprise license or even a seat to use the Agent SDK."

Step 1 of 2

Say it like this (the licensing question)

You don't need an enterprise license or even a seat to use the Agent SDKA programmatic interface for running Cursor agents from your own scripts, services or CI, locally or in the cloud. Press Enter for the full definition. - anyone, personal or enterprise, can generate a Cursor API key, which is what you embed to run an SDK agent. For an enterprise team it depends on the contract but it generally draws from the team's pooled usage; confirm the specifics with your account manager. That answer unblocks the most common procurement objection on SDK adoption.

Verify before you publish the claim

Exact flag names and SDK signatures move between releases. Before you write a tutorial or claim a capability in an interview, check the docs or read the SDK types in node_modules to confirm the current shape. "I'd verify the exact flag against the docs" is a stronger answer than confidently quoting an API that changed last month.

Interview move

Bring a real automation to the loop and offer to walk it. Name the chore, show the harness config and tell the story of the failure mode you hit and how you constrained the agent to fix it. That narrative proves you can both build and teach, which is the whole job.
