What you'll learn

Manual development tasks and scattered processes slow down teams. In this course, Automating Workflows with Cursor, you’ll learn to harness Cursor AI for multi‑step software development automation. First, you’ll explore how to use Cursor’s Agent and Composer modes to read code, plan changes, edit files, run tests, and validate results. Next, you’ll discover how to extend your automation reach via MCP integrations and terminal workflows, bringing in external context and executing scripts within your projects. Then, you’ll build reusable automation patterns using cursor rules and Notepads to encode team standards and shareable workflows. After that, you’ll evaluate and optimize Cursor‑assisted workflows for reliability, efficiency, and scalability by measuring metrics and refining prompts. Finally, you’ll learn how to design a governance framework to deploy Cursor automation across your organization with accountability and control. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to transform Cursor AI into a powerful automation partner for your development workflow.
