Cursor 3 is a layered system: .cursorrules for policy, the plugin marketplace for distribution, Team Marketplaces for centralised governance, MCP servers for external context, MCP Apps for interactive output in chat, Background Agents for long-running work, Bugbot for review, Cursor Automations for scheduled or event-triggered runs, JetBrains ACP support for non-VS-Code teams. The Composer 2 plus Opus 4.6 plus GPT-5.4 plus Gemini 3 Pro model selector adds another axis. Most teams use a quarter of this surface area and pay for the rest.
Senior engineers, staff engineers, tech leads, platform and DevEx teams, internal AI champions.
About the instructors: Rogier Muller & Vasilis Tsolis
Rogier Muller is CTO of BlueMonks Group, an Amsterdam-based fintech compliance company, and co-founder of several companies. He`s a lifelong coder who moved early into AI-assisted software development. Today, he is the only person in the world to combine official ambassador roles across the three leading agentic engineering platforms: Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex. Rogier has hosted numerous events worldwide and works closely with engineering teams, founders, and AI tooling companies on the practical adoption of agentic software development. His specific expertise is using agentic engineering in highly regulated environments, including but not limited to fintech, financial services, KYC/CDD, AML, GDPR, AFM-supervised contexts, auditability, data isolation, and compliance-heavy software delivery.
Vasilis Tsolis is a pioneer in document intelligence and agentic coding helping teams to change how they work across industries. He is an official Ambassador for Cursor, OpenAI Codex and n8n. He is the partner of Cognitiv+, an AI consultancy and software factory that helps organisations practically implement and adopt AI with enterprise confidence. He has co-founded several companies and trains development teams across the US and EU on AI-assisted coding, with a consistent focus on integrating it into real workflows without losing control of the codebase. Background: engineering and law, twenty years across AI, construction, energy, and tech. Vasilis has worked with JPMorgan, Intel, PwC, and others along the way.
Module 1.
Cursor 3 as a layered system. The Cursor Feature Matrix as a day-one handout: rules, plugins, Team Marketplaces, MCP servers, MCP Apps, Background Agents, Bugbot, Automations, model selector.
Module 2.
Model selection. Composer 2 for speed and IDE responsiveness. Opus 4.6 for codebase-wide refactors and architectural reasoning. GPT-5.4 for OpenAI-aligned shops. Gemini 3 Pro for very long context windows. Auto mode handles most routine work. Lab: write a per-task model policy for the team.
Module 3.
Plugins, Team Marketplaces, MCP , MCP Apps. Plugins (one-command install) for personal extensions. Team Marketplaces for centralised governance. MCP servers for external context. MCP Apps for interactive charts, diagrams, whiteboards inside agent chats. Lab: select three MCP servers and one MCP App for the team's stack, justify each.
Module 4.
Background Agents and Cursor Automations. Background Agents for long-horizon tasks with visual demos. Automations for scheduled or event-triggered cloud runs (Bugbot Autofix is one exampleof this architecture). When the asynchronous flow earns its credit cost, when it does not. Lab: build one Cursor Automation for the team's actual workflow.
Module 5.
Bugbot at scale. Tuning rules for the team's domain. MCP integration for Bugbot context. Bugbot Autofix economics: when it saves cycles, when it produces noise. Bugbot's learned rules and how the team can shape them. Lab: configure Bugbot with team-specific rules and validate against historical PRs.
Module 6.
Capstone. 90-day rollout: pilot, expansion, standard practice. Named owners. Success criteria. Kill switch. Must include at least one Automation pattern in production by phase 3. Plan defended to the room.

FAQ
Hva er Cursor Advanced?
Cursor Advanced er et videregående kurs for utviklere som ønsker å bruke Cursor som en integrert del av utviklingsprosessen i større og mer komplekse prosjekter.
Hvem passer kurset for?
Kurset passer for erfarne utviklere, tech leads og arkitekter som allerede har jobbet med Cursor eller lignende AI-verktøy, og som ønsker å bruke det mer systematisk i team og organisasjon.
Trenger jeg forkunnskaper for å delta?
Ja, det forutsettes erfaring med programmering og praktisk bruk av Cursor eller tilsvarende AI-assistert utviklingsverktøy.
Er kurset praktisk rettet?
Ja, kurset er hands-on og tar utgangspunkt i realistiske utviklingsscenarioer, hvor du jobber med større kodebaser og mer avanserte arbeidsflyter.
Hva lærer jeg som er nyttig i praksis?
Du lærer hvordan du strukturerer avanserte arbeidsflyter, håndterer komplekse kodebaser, forbedrer kvalitet og testdekning, og integrerer AI-verktøy i teamets utviklingsprosess. Dette inkluderer også hvordan AI kan brukes i debugging, refaktorering og automatisering av utviklingsoppgaver
