## AI-native score

**Tier D — 34/100 · research coverage 42/100.** This grade measures agent-readiness and is not a substitute for your own security or vendor-risk review. See [methodology](/methodology/) for how the grade and coverage are computed. Unresearched decision fields score zero in the grade.

## Confirmed absences

These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications).

- **A2A servers** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-13. Checked the comprehensive developer documentation index for Agent2Agent protocol support, an A2A server, or Agent Cards; none is documented. Source: https://cursor.com/docs
- **Open source** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-14. Read the product licensing terms for an open-source license or publication of the service implementation. No open-source product implementation license is offered in these terms. Source: https://cursor.com/terms-of-service
- **Web-MCP** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-13. Checked the comprehensive developer documentation index for browser WebMCP tool registration or browser modelContext integration; none is documented. Remote MCP support, where present, is a separate protocol. Source: https://cursor.com/docs

## Security & Compliance

We confirm that cited vendor pages support these certification claims; we do not independently audit the reports. A shared trust or security page can support several certifications. We do not require separate public report links because reports may require login, vendor approval, or a nondisclosure agreement. Ask the vendor for reports and applicable coverage before a procurement decision. These listings expose no per-claim check date; the entry's updated date does not date the supporting evidence.

- **Compliance certifications:** ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 42001, System and Organization Controls 2
**Access controls:** Not yet researched.
