IDE and Agent Setup

Setup your AI IDE and agent to help you ship faster with Composio

This comprehensive guide explains how to set up your IDE and coding agents to help you ship faster with Composio. We’ll cover optimal configurations for popular editors and AI coding assistants.

Cursor

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor that can significantly accelerate your development with Composio. Here’s how to set it up optimally.

Index Documentation

Cursor can index documentation, making it easy to ask questions about Composio and get contextual answers while coding.

Index docs

To index Composio documentation:

  1. Open Cursor Settings (Shift + Cmd/Ctrl + J)
  2. Navigate to “Features” → “Codebase indexing”
  3. Add the Composio documentation URLs:

Once indexed, you can ask questions directly in the chat!
