Autter works with Cursor by recording checkpoints around the edits Cursor makes in your repository.

​
What you get

  • Automatic authorship tracking for Cursor-authored lines
  • autter status for the current working tree
  • autter blame for line-level attribution in committed files
  • autter stats for commit and range summaries

​
Set up Cursor hooks

1

Install Autter

Install the CLI on the developer machine first.
2

Install or refresh hooks

Run:
3

Restart Cursor

Restart the editor so it loads the new integration files.
4

Make an edit

Ask Cursor to change a tracked file, then run autter status before you commit.

​
Connect to the Autter platform

Hooks work locally without an account. To sync with the Autter platform (or use Autter MCP in Cursor), sign in:
If the browser login does not start, or you see a vague server/connection error, paste an access token on that same step — do not wait for the server to recover:
  1. Open your org’s Settings → Access Tokens
  2. Click Create token, copy it
  3. Run:
This is a CLI/MCP access token, not a Runtime ingest key (AUTTER_RUNTIME_KEY). See also Connect the platform and MCP setup.

​
Verify the result

If Cursor does not appear in the attribution, check whether the repository was opened from the right root and whether the integration files were refreshed after install.
