Chainguard plug-in now available on Cursor Marketplace

When AI coding agents generate Dockerfiles, Kubernetes manifests, or pull in dependencies, they often default to public registries that carry vulnerabilities or potential malware risk.

Starting today, developers can connect Cursor directly to Chainguard through the new Chainguard plugin on the Cursor Marketplace. This makes Chainguard Containers and Chainguard Libraries the secure, open source default within their existing Cursor workflows.

Now, developers can avoid wasting time on tedious open source artifact security reviews and tokens by asking their agent to remediate any known vulnerabilities. Through the plugin, Cursor agents gain direct access to the Chainguard Repository, which provides a secure-by-default catalog of container images and Python, Java, and JavaScript dependencies.

Getting started takes about two minutes:

1. Open the Cursor Marketplace, search for Chainguard, and click "Add to Cursor"

2. Navigate to Settings

3. Click on Tools and MCPs

4. Click on Plugin MCP Servers

5. Click Connect on all Chainguard MCP servers

6. Authenticate your Chainguard account via the browser pop-up

7. That's it! Your Cursor agent is ready to build with Chainguard’s secure-by-default artifacts

Whether you're spinning up a new project or hardening an existing one, the Chainguard plugin makes the secure path the easy path. Install it today on the Cursor Marketplace or type /add-plugin chainguard directly in Cursor.
