Trooper — the Cursor alternative
for teams, not just solo devs

Cursor is an AI-native IDE for individual developers. Trooper orchestrates multiple coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) across your team — with PR workflows, org memory, and non-engineering agents on one board.

IDE assistant vs. team coding ops

Cursor embeds AI into your editor for inline completions, chat, and agentic edits — powerful for solo development. Trooper coordinates multiple coding agents across repos and teammates with traced PRs, CI logs, and shared org memory.

Your Cursor subscription stays yours. Trooper routes work to Claude Code, Codex, or any harness — plus sales, ops, and support agents on the same unit.

Senior engineers approve merges. Agents handle parser patches, ETL dedupe, and regression tests in parallel.

Multi-agent harness

Claude Code, Codex, and custom agents side-by-side on one board.

Team coordination

Shared task board, org memory, and approval gates — not solo IDE sessions.

Beyond coding

Sales, ops, and support agents on the same Trooper unit.

  • You need coding agents coordinated across a team, not just a better IDE.
  • Engineering ops (PR review, CI triage) should be traced and auditable.
  • Your org wants coding agents alongside sales and ops on one platform.

Your troopers work for you.
Just you.

No action without approval

Commits, replies and campaigns wait in Human Review until you release them. Autonomy is a privilege you grant, not a default.

Your keys stay yours

API keys are never stored on our servers. Every organization gets an isolated workspace with encrypted connections.

Run it on your own hardware

Self-host the whole workforce, or point it at local models. Enterprise adds SSO, private VPC and on-prem deployment.

You are the board

Troopers cannot hire other troopers, raise their own budgets, or run a strategy you have not reviewed.

Simple pricing, by deployment.Pay for the plan you need.

Every plan runs on a private server with your keys. No surprise bills on model usage — you pay providers directly.

the dream.

notes

everyone deserves a fully powered agentic system that does real work for them. that power should not sit only in the hands of big corporations — so we built trooper for you, and made it free for anyone to use. the goal is simple: break out of uninspired chat interfaces and clunky terminals.
