What is CursorLens?
CursorLens provides an open-source dashboard specifically tailored for the Cursor.sh Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It allows developers to gain insights into their AI-assisted coding workflows by automatically logging code generated by AI and tracking usage metrics.
The tool offers capabilities to control and manage various AI models, including support for locally hosted models alongside cloud-based ones. Users can deploy CursorLens locally, with plans for a hosted version in the future. It serves to enhance transparency and control over AI interactions within the Cursor IDE.
