Cursor cloud agents can publish a live app
On paid plans with cloud agents, Cursor can scaffold an app, add Postgres and sign-in, and publish a link after security checks you approve.

Cursor's 5 November 2026 changelog says you can build a live app in Cursor and share it with a link. You start a cloud agent and tell it you want an app. Cursor scaffolds the web app, can spin up a Postgres database, sets authentication behind Cursor sign-in, and provisions hosting. If the app needs another system, Cursor asks for the secrets. You pick a domain when you publish.
Before anything is public, Cursor runs deterministic and agentic security checks for problems such as secrets in app files or exposed credentials. If a check fails, the agent says what to fix. Nothing goes live until the checks pass and you publish. Team admins can see every app and secret, add rules to the security review, approve a publish the review blocked, and unpublish an app. Sharing can be limited to people, groups, or the team, behind Cursor sign-in. On individual plans, apps can also be shared publicly. Cursor can deploy from new or existing repos on Cursor Origin and GitHub. GitLab support is described as coming soon. The changelog says this is available on all paid plans with cloud agents enabled.
Who it's for: someone on a paid Cursor plan who wants a small internal tool or a shareable web app from a cloud agent, with a person still pressing publish.
Fits: Best for Vibe Coding stays Cursor for a multi-file change you can reject in the editor. A deployed app is a new surface on that same product. It leaves Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, and Replit where they are. The coding guide and the Cursor alternatives are unchanged. The verdict is unchanged.
