Start Cursor Background Agents from a Front plugin

Thanks ​@Javier - Developer Relations for putting together the Build a Plugin prompt - that probably saved me half a day of work here.

Using that as a base, I built a plugin allowing users to start Cursor Background Agents, right from a Front conversation
See code at github.com/dugjason/front-cursor-plugin

You can easily self-host anywhere you can deploy a JS app (Vercel and Netlify will work in a couple of clicks).

How it works

Enter your Cursor API key - it’s encrypted and set in a cookie on your device, so no data is stored on a remote server (no database required)
When you start a Background Agent, you can prompt it however you like from the plugin. The full conversation (messages + comments) are pulled into context for the Cursor Agent, so the LLM has a better picture of what you’re trying to address. It enabled fast prompting like “Fix the issue the customer is reporting”

I’d love to know how this plugin works for you!
