Cursor Notifier v2 update: Telegram bot alerts + Open VSX
Cursor Notifier v2 ships with the feature many users asked for: Telegram bot alerts when a Cursor Agent/Composer response finishes. You no longer need to stay near your desktop - important status updates can arrive directly in Telegram while you are in another room, in a meeting, or running parallel tasks.
The project lives on GitHub: cursor-notifier. The extension listing is on Cursor Marketplace. It is now also published on Open VSX, making installation easier for users in VS Code-compatible environments.
What's new in v2
- Sends Telegram bot notifications after agent responses
- Keeps optional local desktop alerts for quick on-device feedback
- Preserves the lightweight, hook-based integration model
How Telegram alerts work
Cursor Notifier listens for the official afterAgentResponse hook and triggers a
notification script. In v2, that script can forward completion events to your Telegram bot,
so you get a reliable "done" signal even when Cursor is in the background.
Quick setup
Install from Open VSX or Cursor Marketplace, open your project, and allow hook setup. Then configure your Telegram bot credentials (token + chat id) and run a test response. If hooks are enabled, each finished agent response can be delivered to Telegram in seconds.
Why this update matters
Long-running agent tasks are normal. Telegram delivery expands notifications beyond a single machine, reduces context switching, and lets you react faster without constantly watching the IDE UI.
Security and control
The extension remains intentionally small and auditable. Telegram integration is opt-in and can be disabled if you only want local notifications. You keep full control over where notifications are sent.
