Use case

MyShell with Cursor

Edit code in Cursor on a cloud VM while MyShell handles shells, logs, and dev servers on the same machine. MyShell complements editor remotes — it does not try to replace your IDE.

What you get

  • Same remote machine: editor for code, MyShell for shells and daemons
  • Quick starts with cwd and startCommand for API workers and frontends
  • Find-in-terminal and session output search for logs
  • AI that turns plain language into runnable shell/SQL with Run
  • Works alongside VS Code Remote SSH and JetBrains Gateway too

Who it’s for

Anyone using Cursor, VS Code Remote SSH, or JetBrains Gateway who wants a dedicated shell workspace beside the editor.

FAQ

Does MyShell replace Cursor’s terminal?

No. Use Cursor for editing; use MyShell when you want a full shell workspace with help, tasks, grid sessions, and AI Run.

Does it work with VS Code Remote SSH?

Yes. The same split applies: editor remote for code, MyShell for shells on that host.

What about JetBrains Gateway?

Same idea — keep the IDE for projects; MyShell for multi-session shell work and offline help.
