Why cursor upload my files????? ALL THE FILES image

Hi! We upload your files to compute embeddings for them. This enables you to ask codebase-wide questions, such as "where do we configure logging?", and get a correct answer back from anywhere in your folder.

We do not store your actual files on our server. We do store the embeddings, which are a lossy compression of the original code.

You can always opt out of codebase-wide understanding by clicking "Delete" under the "Codebase Indexing" section in the settings, as shown below. Let me know if you're having trouble finding this option.

Separately: we want to make sure that we communicate this more clearly to users in the future. We definitely do not want this to come as a surprise. To help with that, could you answer the following questions to help us understand how to convey this more clearly?

  1. When did you first install Cursor?
  2. What version of Cursor are you currently on?
  3. Have you been using the Ctrl+Enter in chat to "chat with codebase"?

Why can't embeddings also be stored locally?

My dream is to use a local-only open source model, like llama, along with full embeddings stored locally. That way I could feel much safer working on enterprise/production codebases with AI.
