Ankra plugin for Cursor

The Ankra plugin for the Cursor Marketplace. It connects the Cursor agent to the hosted Ankra MCP server and adds Ankra’s agent skills, a rule and slash commands for building, shipping and operating Kubernetes through Ankra.

Using the plugin: see plugins/ankra/README.md.

Updating the skills and commands

The skills and commands are maintained in ankraio/ankra-cli (internal/skills) and also ship through ankra skills install. Change them there, cut a CLI release, then regenerate this plugin from that release:

brew upgrade ankra            # the installed CLI must match the release
scripts/sync-from-cli.sh      # defaults to the installed CLI's version
node scripts/validate-template.mjs

Bump version in plugins/ankra/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json when the plugin content changes.

This also runs on its own: the Sync from ankra-cli release workflow (.github/workflows/sync-from-cli.yml) checks ankra-cli’s latest stable release every morning. When it is newer than plugins/ankra/SOURCE, scripts/sync-latest-release.sh downloads that release’s binary, verifies its checksum, regenerates the skills and commands, bumps the minor version and validates, and the workflow opens (or updates) a pull request from sync/ankra-cli-release. It uses only the repository’s GITHUB_TOKEN. Run it by hand from the Actions tab, optionally with a tag or as a dry_run. The same script works locally without an installed ankra:

scripts/sync-latest-release.sh            # latest stable release
scripts/sync-latest-release.sh v0.30.0    # a specific release

Testing locally

mkdir -p ~/.cursor/plugins/local
cp -R plugins/ankra ~/.cursor/plugins/local/ankra-marketplace

Reload Cursor (Developer: Reload Window) and check that the rule, skills, commands and the ankra MCP server appear. If ankra skills install already wrote a local ankra plugin, move it aside while testing so the two do not overlap.
