From localhost to a live link

Most apps and tools users build never make it off localhost, Cursor says. Cursor’s Nov 5, 2026 changelog says users can build live apps directly in Cursor and share them with a link. A user describes what they want, and Cursor builds the app, sets up a database, configures authentication and deploys it.

Cloud agents assemble the app

To get started, a user kicks off a cloud agent and tells it explicitly to build an app. Cursor scaffolds the web app, spins up a Postgres database if needed, sets up authentication behind Cursor SSO and provisions hosting. If an app needs to connect to company systems such as a data warehouse, Cursor asks for the necessary secrets; publishing also involves choosing a unique domain.

Internal tools for five work areas

Cursor says users across sales, operations, legal, finance and engineering are building internal apps. Examples include tools for event registration, account assignments and desk seating; customer presentations combining slides, videos and interactive demos; and training, enablement and onboarding for new hires. Other examples are live sales dashboards for pipeline and opportunities, and portals to manage engineering services. Apps can be deployed from new or existing repositories across Cursor Origin and GitHub, with support for GitLab coming soon.

Checks and sharing controls

Before publication, Cursor runs deterministic and agentic security checks for common issues such as secrets in app files or exposed credentials. If a check fails, the agent tells the user what needs fixing; nothing goes live until the checks pass and the user explicitly publishes the app. Team admins can see every app and secret, add rules to the security review, approve publishes the review blocked, and unpublish any app.

After the checks pass, Cursor deploys the app to the selected URL, where users can share it with specific people, groups or their entire team behind Cursor sign-in. Individual plans also allow public sharing, and users can provision a Cursor API key for a script or Grok Bot to use the app. Cursor says the capability is available on all paid plans with cloud agents enabled.
