Cursor Grok Bot forces cloud agent use, disrupting local Claude/Codex workflow

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit is seeking to maintain a local coding workflow involving Grok Bot, Claude Code, and Codex, which has recently been disrupted. The Grok Bot now insists on using a Cursor cloud agent for repository implementation, requiring users to purchase credits or switch to Grok models, overriding local subscriptions. This change appears to have occurred around November 6th, and the user is looking for a way to restore their previous setup that included approval gates and no automatic live changes, without incurring additional costs or using Grok's tokens.
