Support for Cursor installation and remote execution without local source compilation

[LeonTing1010]

I'm currently encountering an issue where rust-analyzer can only be run by compiling from the local source code. The standard installation methods (e.g., via rustup or package managers) do not seem to produce a working binary that can be used remotely or in environments similar to Cursor 's setup.

In Cursor, the language server appears to be installed separately and runs remotely (possibly in a container or backend environment), which allows fast and seamless integration without requiring users to build the language server from source.

It would be very helpful if rust-analyzer could officially support:

Installation as a standalone binary without needing to compile from source
Running the language server in a remote or headless environment
Clear documentation or tooling for integrating with IDEs in a Cursor-like architecture
This improvement would significantly enhance user experience, especially for third-party editor integrations and cloud-based development platforms.

Thank you!

We already support VS Code's remoting if you install the rust-analyzer extension on the remote side, is Cursor different? You don't have to build anything from source.
