Set up Cursor BugBot for automated pull request reviews. Configure custom review criteria and integrate into your team CI/CD workflow.

Cursor BugBot is an automated code review assistant that scans pull requests for bugs, security issues, and code quality problems.

Setup

Go to cursor.com and link your GitHub organization
Choose which repositories BugBot should review
Configure automatic review (every PR) or manual trigger mode

Triggering Reviews

Comment "bugbot run" on any pull request. BugBot analyzes the code and replies with a detailed summary of issues found.

What BugBot Catches

Logic errors: Not just style issues but actual bugs
Missing edge cases: Unhandled conditions and boundary scenarios
Potential regressions: Changes that might break existing functionality
Security vulnerabilities: Common security anti-patterns
Code quality issues: Complexity, duplication, and maintainability

Custom Review Rules

Create .cursor/rules/bugbot.md with your team's specific review criteria. BugBot uses these rules to tailor its analysis to your codebase.

Integration with Cursor

BugBot can provide fixes directly in your Cursor editor or through Background Agents for automated remediation.

Pricing

Pro ($20/month): Included
Teams ($40/user/month): Up to 200 reviews/month

Best Practices

Define clear review rules for your project
Use alongside human reviews for comprehensive coverage
Regularly update review rules as your codebase evolves
Configure BugBot for security checks specific to your stack
