How they work together

01

Install plugin

Head to the Cursor Marketplace, search for Chainguard, and click “add to Cursor”

02

Call Chainguard in your next Cursor prompt

Cursor defaults to using Chainguard Containers and Libraries rather than what's available on public registries.

03

Build safely with AI

Your application now is using secure-by-default open source artifacts without slowing down your development cycles

 

High velocity engineering meets secure open source

You trust Cursor to help multiply the productivity of your engineering team. You trust Chainguard to secure your open source dependencies. Now, they go hand in hand. In every project, pull in malware-resistant open source libraries that are protected from the next supply chain attack.

Know what Cursor pulls is secure

Chainguard Libraries are built only from publicly verifiable source code, ensuring Cursor never pulls in a malicious package into your next project.

No complicated configuration

All it takes to have Cursor point to Chainguard-built artifacts is telling Cursor to set it up.

Drops right into your project

When Cursor configures containers and libraries to pull from Chainguard, the only change is your better security posture with no breaking changes.
