What changed
| # | What the source says | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Cloud agents can build and share live apps from a description: scaffold the web app, spin up a Postgres database if needed, configure authentication behind Cursor SSO, and provision hosting. | Reported |
| 02 | Publish picks a unique domain and returns a live link; apps can start from new or existing repos on Cursor Origin and GitHub (GitLab support said to be coming soon). | Reported |
| 03 | Before anything goes live, Cursor runs deterministic and agentic security checks for issues such as secrets in app files; failed checks must be fixed and publish is explicit. | Reported |
| 04 | Team admins can see every app and secret, add custom security-review rules, approve publishes the review blocked, and unpublish any app. | Reported |
| 05 | Sharing is behind Cursor sign-in for people, groups or the whole team; individual plans can also share apps publicly. A Cursor API key can be provisioned for scripts or bots. | Reported |
| 06 | Available on all paid plans with cloud agents enabled. | Reported |

In the source’s words
“Now, you can build live apps directly in Cursor and share them with a link.”
“Cursor will scaffold the web app, spin up a Postgres database if needed, set up authentication behind Cursor SSO, and provision hosting.”
“Nothing goes live until the checks pass and you explicitly publish the app.”
Early verdict
A concrete product surface for internal tools on Cursor cloud agents, with SSO and publish gates; still changelog-level detail on limits and security efficacy.
Basis: Based on Cursor's November 5 changelog; we have not used Build Live Apps.
What we have not verified
- We did not build or publish a live app in Cursor.
- Security-check coverage and false-positive rates are not published.
- Hosting limits, domains policy and pricing beyond 'all paid plans with cloud agents enabled' are not detailed in the changelog.
