Cursor has released a way to build and publish live apps from its cloud agents. Users can describe an app they want, then share the finished app through a link. The capability is available on paid plans with cloud agents enabled.
To start, a user launches a cloud agent and explicitly asks it to build an app. Cursor says the agent creates the web app, adds a Postgres database if needed, sets up authentication through Cursor SSO and provisions hosting. If the app needs access to another system, such as a data warehouse, Cursor asks for the required secrets.
When the app is ready to publish, the user chooses a unique domain. Cursor can deploy apps from new or existing repositories on Cursor Origin and GitHub. The company says support for other git providers, including GitLab, is coming soon.

Cursor says it checks apps for common security issues before publication, including secrets stored in app files and exposed credentials. If a check fails, the agent tells the user what needs fixing. The app goes live only after the checks pass and the user explicitly publishes it.
Team admins can view their team’s apps and secrets, add rules to the security review, approve publications blocked by that review and unpublish apps.
Users can choose who gets access
After publication, users can share an app with specific people, groups or their whole team behind Cursor sign-in. Individual plans also allow public sharing. Cursor says users can provision an API key for a script or Grok Bot to use an app.
The company says its staff use these apps for tasks including internal operations, customer presentations, training, sales dashboards and engineering service portals. Users can try the new capability by updating Cursor; it is available on all paid plans with cloud agents enabled.
