Cursor cloud agents can build and host live apps
Cursor can now turn a cloud-agent request into a hosted web app, including scaffolding, Postgres when needed, authentication, secrets and deployment. Apps can start in Cursor Origin or an existing GitHub repository, and nothing goes live until security checks pass and a user explicitly publishes.

EDITORIAL TAKEAWAY
Use this for a small internal dashboard or portal first. Keep secrets in the provided secret controls, review generated access rules and data handling, and test the live app before broad sharing.
Before you try it
- Available on all paid plans with cloud agents enabled; local agents do not support this flow.
- Apps can be built from a new Cursor Origin repository or an existing GitHub repository.
- Team apps can be shared behind Cursor sign-in; individual-plan users can also publish publicly.
A small next step
Our suggested way to explore the change.
- Start a cloud agent and explicitly ask it to build an app, with the users and data scope stated.
- Preview the result and resolve every deterministic or agentic security-check finding.
- Choose the URL, explicitly publish, then verify authentication, permissions and one complete user flow.
