> **Video Content:** The video demonstrates configuring and using the Xona plugin within the Cursor IDE to enable agentic commerce capabilities. The user navigates to the Plugins marketplace and installs the Xona plugin (marked as "Uninstall / Private"), then runs the "/xona-status" slash command in the chat panel. The agent executes a multi-step process—running Xpay Balance, Xpay Guardrail, and Xpay Report—before displaying a detailed status update that reveals a testnet wallet funded with 2.18 USDC, associated Coinbase and Robinhood addresses, and a weekly spend report showing no transactions during July 9–16.

> "Development is complete.

We’ve built the Xona plugin for 
@cursor_ai
, bringing agentic commerce directly into the developer workflow.

Inside Cursor, agents can access wallets, discover services, make payments through 
@x402
, and use external resources without leaving the IDE."
