Command reference ยท Cursor CLI

/about

Shows CLI version, system, and account info and copies it to the clipboard.

/about shows you the Cursor CLI version, system information, and account details within a running chat session. The command also automatically copies this info block to the clipboard, so you can reuse it without manually selecting it. There's also an identically named terminal subcommand, agent about, which delivers the same info outside a chat session โ€” according to the docs, though, without the automatic clipboard copy, which is only explicitly mentioned for the slash command /about. A typical use case is preparing a bug report or support request: instead of looking up version, operating system, and account separately, you get the whole block with one command and paste it straight into the ticket. If you really only need the plain version number, the command gives you more information than necessary.

โœ… WHEN TO USE IT?

Compile diagnostic info for a bug report

/about โ€” paste the output directly into the support ticket

Quickly check which account and system you're currently working with

Call /about to confirm account and system context before reporting a problem.

โ›” WHEN NOT TO?

You only need the plain version number

/about delivers an entire info block, more than needed for a simple version check.

Better: Run agent --version in the terminal
