Installation

1. Install the plugin in Cursor from the marketplace (or see Local Development to test from source).
2. Run /parallel-setup to install parallel-cli and authenticate.

Manual CLI Setup

curl -fsSL https://parallel.ai/install.sh | bash
parallel-cli login

Or via pipx:

pipx install "parallel-web-tools[cli]"
parallel-cli login

Quick Start

Search the web:

/parallel-search latest developments in AI chip manufacturing

Extract a webpage:

/parallel-extract https://example.com/article

Deep research (slower, more thorough):

/parallel-research comprehensive analysis of React vs Vue in 2026

Enrich data:

/parallel-enrich companies.csv with CEO name, funding amount, and headquarters

Local Development

To test the plugin locally without installing from the marketplace:

1. Clone this repo:

   git clone https://github.com/parallel-web/parallel-cursor-plugin.git
   

2. Open the repo in Cursor:

   cursor parallel-cursor-plugin
   

3. Skills and rules are auto-discovered from the standard directories. Type / in the chat to verify the parallel-* skills are listed.

4. Commands are not auto-discovered when testing locally. Symlink them into Cursor's project commands directory:

   ln -s ../commands .cursor/commands
   

5. Type / again — the parallel-* commands should now appear alongside the skills.

6. Run /parallel-setup to confirm the CLI is installed and authenticated.
