claude import and /import now support importing settings from Cursor IDE, alongside Codex and Gemini
What
claude import(and its/importslash command) now acceptscursoras a source, alongside the existingcodexandgeminisources, across the command's argument list, usage text, argument hints, CLI validators, and config-review messaging.- A new importer reads Cursor IDE configuration from
~/.cursorand.cursor/(and.agents/skills) — includingmcp.json,rules/*.mdc,skills/,commands/,hooks.json, and.cursorrules— and converts it into Claude Code MCP servers, skills, CLAUDE.md instructions, and slash commands. It includes safety checks (refusing symlinks, flagging values that look like credentials, refusing workspace-folder scoping, size caps, deduplication) and explicitly does not import Cursor hooks,.cursorignore, Cursor Memories, Custom Modes, or Team Rules. - The CLAUDE.md import-fallback marker now recognizes
cursoras a third source id alongsidecodex/geminiwhen merging or reconciling previously imported instructions. .cursordirectories are now treated the same as.windsurfrules/.clinerulesfor worktree/context purposes (while.cursorruleswas removed from that particular list), and acursorboolean was added to import-related telemetry.
Why
This lets people who have been using Cursor bring their existing MCP servers, rules, skills, and commands into Claude Code with a single import command, instead of recreating them by hand.

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
Added since
A small documentation edit on Claude apps gateway for Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Foundry touched a line naming /import after this was published.
| Features that need feature-flag fetching, such as `/import` and `claude import` | Not available | The CLI skips the flag fetch on gateway sessions. [Features that need feature-flag fetching](/docs/en/env-vars#features-that-need-feature-f…claude-apps-gateway see the edit
Confirmed since
Anthropic's documentation has since written up /import, on CLI reference.
