Getting an app from local code to a link colleagues can use often means arranging hosting and authentication. Cursor’s November 5 announcement brings that path into the coding environment: describe an app and a cloud agent prepares the infrastructure around it.
How the workflow works
Start a cloud agent and explicitly ask it to build an app. Cursor says the agent scaffolds the web app and, when needed, provisions a Postgres database, Cursor SSO authentication and hosting. It asks for any secrets required to connect external systems.
At publication, the user chooses a domain. Deterministic and agentic security checks look for issues such as secrets in app files or exposed credentials. The app does not go live until the checks pass and the user explicitly publishes it.
Who can use the link?
Published apps can be shared with specific people, groups or a whole team behind Cursor sign-in. Cursor says individual plans can also share apps publicly. Team admins can see apps and secrets, add review rules and unpublish an app.
For internal tools and dashboards, the workflow reduces the distance between a prototype and a usable service. Passing the checks still leaves the creator responsible for checking that the app works as intended.
