Introduction

Bugbot is Cursor’s AI code review agent. Its documentation says it analyses PR diffs and leaves comments with explanations and fix suggestions, running automatically on each PR update or when someone comments cursor review or bugbot run.

It supports GitHub (including Enterprise Server), GitLab (including self-hosted), Bitbucket and Azure DevOps. Each run publishes a status, such as the Cursor Bugbot check on GitHub, which branch protection can require. Reviews follow team rules, project .cursor/BUGBOT.md files and learned rules, and a .cursor/config/bugbot.yaml file sets triggers, effort level, PR summaries and autofix mode. Autofix can spawn a Cloud Agent to push fixes, and an API triggers reviews and reports analytics.

In the quality loop Bugbot is an AI pull request gate that can also run from an agent before pushing.

Features

1. Automatic PR reviews: On every update or on demand.
2. CI check status: Requireable in branch protection.
3. Rules: Team rules, BUGBOT.md and learned rules.
4. Effort levels: Low, default, high and smart.
5. Autofix: Cloud Agent fixes.
6. API: Trigger reviews and fetch analytics.

Pros

1. Multi-platform: Four Git providers supported.

Cons

1. Usage-based billing: Costs vary with review volume.
2. Findings default to neutral: Blocking needs extra configuration.
3. AI accuracy: Human review still needed.

Pricing

Bugbot uses usage-based billing: it first consumes included usage, then bills additional reviews from prepaid credit (or on-demand spend on legacy plans). See Cursor’s pricing page for current rates.

Recommended for?

1. Cursor users wanting review inside the same tool.
2. Teams on multiple Git platforms.

Conclusion

Bugbot integrates AI review with rules, CI checks and agent-driven fixes.

Require its check and enable fail-on-unresolved if findings should block merges.
