Bugbot reviews pull requests and identifies bugs, security issues, and code quality problems.
Bugbot includes a free tier: every user gets a limited number of free PR reviews each month. When you reach the limit, reviews pause until your next billing cycle. You can upgrade anytime to a 14‑day free Pro trial for unlimited reviews (subject to standard abuse guardrails).

​
How it works

Bugbot analyzes PR diffs and leaves comments with explanations and fix suggestions. It runs automatically on each PR update or manually when triggered.
  • Runs automatic reviews on every PR update
  • Manual trigger by commenting cursor review, bugbot run, or cursor run on any PR
  • Fix in Cursor links open issues directly in Cursor
  • Fix in Web links open issues directly in cursor.com/agents
