The integration uses Vercel Functions and Vercel Workflow as a durable control plane, offering scale-to-zero worker pools, dedicated sandboxes, durable retries, and short-lived credentials.

Its [Self-Hosted Machines](https://cursor.com/docs/cloud-agent/self-hosted) APIs let you supply the execution environment where agents clone repositories, edit files, and run commands and tests. Self-Hosted Machines requires a Cursor Enterprise plan.\n\nVercel Sandbox provides that execution environment as an isolated Firecracker microVM for each agent request. [Vercel Functions](https://vercel.com/docs/functions)) and [Vercel Workflow](https://vercel.com/workflow) form a durable control plane that claims queued agent requests, provisions workers, monitors sessions, and cleans up automatically.\n\nWith this architecture, you get:\n\nA scale-to-zero worker pool without long-lived virtual machines\n\nA dedicated, isolated Sandbox for every agent request\n\nDurable retries when a worker or session fails\n\nShort-lived, user-scoped credentials inside each Sandbox\n\nFollow the [step-by-step guide](https://vercel.com/kb/guide/cursor-vercel-sandbox) to deploy the reference implementation to your own Vercel account, or learn more in the [Vercel Sandbox documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/sandbox).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cursor-cloud-agents-can-now-run-in-vercel-sandbox", "canonical_source": "https://vercel.com/changelog/run-cursor-cloud-agents-vercel-sandbox", "published_at": "2026-09-03 15:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-03 16:23:30.731370+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "developer-tools", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Cursor", "Vercel", "Firecracker", "Vercel Functions", "Vercel Workflow"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cursor-cloud-agents-can-now-run-in-vercel-sandbox", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cursor-cloud-agents-can-now-run-in-vercel-sandbox.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cursor-cloud-agents-can-now-run-in-vercel-sandbox.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/cursor-cloud-agents-can-now-run-in-vercel-sandbox.jsonld"}}
