Don't use `--approve-mcps` in repositories you didn't write. Two 2025 CLI advisories came through MCP\n4. Set `CURSOR_API_KEY` in CI. `agent login` opens a browser\n5. Record `agent --version` with each run. Versions are dates and there's no CLI changelog to compare against\n\n### Vibe-Trading\n\n1. Run 0.1.7 or later. Earlier versions carry three published advisories, including unauthenticated API access with an RCE chain\n2. Set `API_AUTH_KEY` before exposing `vibe-trading serve` beyond localhost, and send it as `Authorization: Bearer \u003ckey\u003e`\n3. Set `VIBE_TRADING_ALLOWED_RUN_ROOTS` in the MCP client's `env` block; a shell `export` does not reach the spawned server\n4. Use `vibe-trading run -p \"...\" --json` for headless runs, and add `--enable-shell-tools` to `vibe-trading-mcp` only when shell access is needed\n5. Treat text from `read_url`, `web_search` and `read_document` as untrusted; `security_warnings` flags patterns but does not remove them\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Cursor CLI or Vibe-Trading?\n\nVibe-Trading scores 62.2 (B) on agent readiness against Cursor CLI's 35.3 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
