agent install-shell-integration

Installs the CLI's shell integration into ~/.zshrc.

agent install-shell-integration is not a slash command inside a running chat session but a standalone terminal subcommand of the Cursor CLI. You run it directly in the shell, independent of a cursor-agent session, not as a / command in the chat. The command sets up the shell integration by adding matching entries to ~/.zshrc. According to the official docs, this explicitly refers to zsh; no separate integration routine is documented for other shells like bash, even though the regular installation of the CLI itself supports both bash and zsh according to the setup guide. You typically run the command once after installing the CLI so Cursor Agent is cleanly wired into your shell environment, for example for autocomplete or context features. If you want to remove the integration again later, use its counterpart agent uninstall-shell-integration.
