Integration guide

Set up AdFrolic in Cursor

Cursor uses the same editor-extension family as VS Code, but AdFrolic will publish and test a dedicated install route before calling it available.

Before you start

You need an AdFrolic developer account. If you do not have one yet, create an account first. You do not need to create an advertising campaign.

In development. These instructions show the intended setup and are being prepared ahead of public release. Do not expect the install command or marketplace listing to work until this page is marked Available.

1. Install AdFrolic

Use the command below when the Cursor integration is available. Copy it exactly as shown.

Terminal
# Planned universal installer
install-adfrolic-ads

2. Connect your AdFrolic account

  1. 1Run the installer from a terminal while Cursor is installed.
  2. 2Choose Cursor if the installer does not detect it automatically.
  3. 3A browser window opens so you can sign in to AdFrolic.
  4. 4Approve the short device code, then return to Cursor.
  5. 5Open the AdFrolic panel to confirm the connection.

3. Check it works

Open Cursor and make sure the AdFrolic surface appears without an error. If no advert is available, the surface may stay empty. That is normal.

Where ads appear

The planned Cursor integration uses editor-owned surfaces such as a status area and dedicated AdFrolic panel. Exact supported placements will be confirmed before release.

AdFrolic only uses surfaces that the host application supports. We do not inject adverts over your code, prompts or editor content.

What AdFrolic does not read

Not sent to AdFrolic

Source code, open files, prompt text, AI responses, clipboard contents and terminal output.

Used for the integration

Your AdFrolic session, installation ID, supported placement, client version and limited technical context needed to serve and measure an advert.

Troubleshooting

If the command is not found, the universal installer has not been publicly released yet.
If Cursor does not appear as a target, update Cursor and retry after the AdFrolic integration is marked Available.
An empty sponsored surface does not always mean the integration failed. There may simply be no eligible advert.
