Requirements
Cursor IDE (recent desktop build)
The pad reads your local Cursor model catalog and calls Cursor’s model-switch command
Privacy
Cursor Quick Presets reads Cursor’s local state.vscdb only to list available models/variants on your machine. Nothing is sent to a third-party server by this extension.
