Agents have lowered the cost of writing code, but most apps and tools that users build never make it off of localhost.

Now, you can build live apps directly in Cursor and share them with a link. Describe what you want to create and Cursor will handle the rest: build the app, set up a database, configure auth, and deploy it.

With this release, anyone in your org can now build useful tools for their work and share them with teammates. Update Cursor to try it out.

#How it works

To get started, kick off a cloud agent and tell it explicitly that you want to build an app.

Cursor will scaffold the web app, spin up a Postgres database if needed, set up authentication behind Cursor SSO, and provision hosting. If the app needs to connect to your systems, like a data warehouse, Cursor will ask for the secrets it needs.

When you go to publish your app, you pick a unique domain and Cursor gets you back a live link.

At Cursor, users across sales, operations, legal, finance, and engineering are building internal apps. Some of the most useful ones are:

• Internal ops tools for event registration, account assignments, and desk seating
• Multimedia presentations for customers that combine slides, videos, and interactive demos
• Training, enablement, and onboarding experiences for new hires
• Live dashboards and tools for sales teams to understand their pipeline and opportunities
• Portals to manage engineering services

Cursor can deploy apps from new or existing repos across Cursor Origin and GitHub. Support for other git providers like GitLab is coming soon.

#Controls and guardrails

When you publish an app, Cursor will run deterministic and agentic security checks to catch common issues, like secrets written in app files or exposed credentials. If a check fails, the agent tells you what it needs to fix. Nothing goes live until the checks pass and you explicitly publish the app.

Team admins can see every app and secret on the team. They can also add their own rules to the security review, approve publishes the review blocked, and unpublish any app.

#Share with your team

Once the checks pass, Cursor deploys the app to the URL you chose. You can then share your app with specific people, groups, or your entire team, all behind Cursor sign-in. On individual plans, you can also share apps publicly.

You can also provision a Cursor API key if you want a script or Grok Bot to use your app.

#Get started

This capability is now available on all paid plans with cloud agents enabled. Learn more by reading our docs.

The Agent SDK is available today. It allows you to define an agent as a folder of code, test it with evals, and deploy it to Cursor or your own infrastructure.

Run npx @cursor/agent-sdk init ./my-bot, then agent-sdk dev to start the bot locally with a playground. Pass --template to start from a security reviewer, an owners-policy approver, a PR autofixer, or a Linear or Jira triager.

#Deploy agents wherever you need them

When you're ready to put an agent into use, you can deploy it to Cursor by running agent-sdk deploy from the project directory. The command builds the agent, gives it a URL, and starts it on our infrastructure. You can manage secrets and integrations from the dashboard, while continuing to use the same logs, evals, and playground available locally.

#Agents as code

An agent is a project. instructions.md is the prompt. Each file in tools/ is one typed action the model can call. skills/ holds procedures the model loads on demand, mcp-connections/ adds tools from MCP servers, and channels/ defines where the bot receives and answers messages. agent-sdk validate checks the project and agent-sdk info prints what was discovered.

#Channels

Agents wake on pull request, comment, and CI events from GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket; on mentions and DMs in Slack; on webhooks from any provider; and on a cron schedule. GitHub events pull through your Cursor account, so no public webhook URL is required. Slack is well-supported out of the box.

Each conversation keeps its own session and a complete record of every message and tool call. Follow-ups on a pull request or Slack thread resume the same session.

#Evals

An eval sends a fixed message to the bot and asserts on what it did: which tools ran, with what input, and the shape of the reply. Run agent-sdk eval locally or in CI.

agent-sdk github replay <pr-url> turns a real pull request into signed webhook payloads and sends them to the bot, so GitHub-driven bots can be tested without waiting for a push. Add --dry-run --fixtures-dir fixtures/ to save the payloads as eval fixtures.

#Get started

The Agent SDK is generally available today. Read the docs and get started.

#Canvases from cloud agents

Cloud agents can now build interactive canvases as part of their work. Share a finished canvas with your team by sending its link.

Learn more about sharing canvases.

#Environments API

The Environments API is now available in beta. Use it to programmatically create and manage the cloud environments your agents run in.

#Larger, faster environments

Cloud agent environments now support up to 300 repositories. Large environments also load 5x faster.

Origin now integrates with over 20 apps for deployments, CI, code review, security, monitoring, and project management, from partners including Cloudflare, Linear, Sentry, and Socket Security.

Starting today, the marketplace is also open to public submissions, so any team building developer tools can publish an app for Origin.

#Apps for your stack

The marketplace now includes apps for:

• Deployments: Cloudflare, Netlify, Render, Spacelift, and Vercel
• CI: Buildkite, CircleCI, CloudBees, Depot, EngFlow, Namespace, and RWX
• Code review: CodeRabbit, Greptile, and Tenki
• Security: Artemis Security, Semgrep, Socket Security, and Upwind
• Monitoring: Sentry
• Project management: Linear

#Publish to Marketplace

To submit an app:

1. Create an app in your namespace. It stays private to your namespace while you build.
2. Build against the Origin API. Apps authenticate with an app JWT and installation access tokens, receive webhook events, and write back check runs, pull request comments, and reviews.
3. Make the app public, then submit it from the app's page with a slug, suggested tags, and a demo video. The video should show install, uninstall, and your core product flows.
4. We review the submission and list the app once it's approved.

#Get started

Try the apps in the Origin App Marketplace today.

The Origin Apps plugin can also answer questions from the live Origin API docs and plan a port to Origin for an app you already run.
