On 5 November 2026, the official @cursor_ai account announced that users can now build live apps in Cursor and share them with a link.

You can now build live apps in Cursor and share them with a link.

Agents have made it easier to write code, but most apps never make it off localhost. Describe the tool you want - Cursor will build it, set up a database, run deterministic and agentic security checks, and deploy.

A follow-up in the same thread said the capability is available now on all paid plans and pointed to the changelog.

What was announced

From the @cursor_ai post and the linked changelog at cursor.com/changelog/build-live-apps:

  • Describe the tool you want; Cursor builds the app, sets up a database, configures authentication, runs security checks, and deploys it.
  • Available on all paid plans with cloud agents enabled. Update to the latest version of Cursor.
  • Cursor scaffolds the web app, spins up a Postgres database if needed, sets up authentication behind Cursor SSO, and provisions hosting. If the app needs to connect to external systems, Cursor asks for the required secrets.
  • When publishing, you pick a unique domain and receive a live link.
  • On publish, Cursor runs deterministic and agentic security checks for issues such as secrets written in app files or exposed credentials. Nothing goes live until the checks pass and you explicitly publish.
  • Share the app with specific people, groups, or your entire team, behind Cursor sign-in. On individual plans, apps can also be shared publicly.
  • You can provision a Cursor API key so a script or Grok Bot can use the app.
  • Supports deployment from new or existing repos on Cursor Origin and GitHub. Support for other providers such as GitLab is coming soon.

Context

Cursor is included in The X Subscription alongside Grok, Grok Bot, and X Premium. Staff members @mattyp and @Baconbrix quoted the announcement in the context of using Grok Bot with the new capability.

The changelog notes examples of internal tools already being built at Cursor, such as ops tools, customer presentations, onboarding experiences, sales dashboards, and engineering portals.
