The same happens with codex-cli and vscode wrapper.

It is probably hard to keep the cursor-agent process open for a whole session, and still have a clear context in every call to the run_agent tool, but it might speed up considerably the execution of sub-agents. In my sessions, I run sub-agents from 5 to 10 times (I have commands with a large number of steps), and all the speed I gain wtih using the Composer model, I lose with the sub-agent calls.", "SourceUrl": "https://github.com/shinpr/sub-agents-mcp/issues/23", "PublishedAt": "2025-11-11T03:31:22.000Z", "State": "closed", "Comments": 5, "Reporter": "External", "Rank": "top", "Extractor": "github_issue" }, { "Title": "Sub-Agents Cannot Execute Commands Despite Permission Configuration", "Excerpt": "**Date:** 2025-01-27 \n**Component:** `sub-agents-mcp` MCP Server \n**Severity:** Medium \n**Status:** Unresolved\n\n## Summary\n\nSub-agents created via `sub-agents-mcp` cannot execute terminal commands despite:\n1.

But I've lost that context and now I'm wondering why I would want to use sub-agents via MCP versus inbuilt sub-agent functionality in Claude Code.
