> Cursor's November 5, 2026 changelog says you can build live apps in Cursor with a cloud agent that scaffolds the app, can spin up Postgres, sets auth behind Cursor SSO, provisions hosting, runs security checks before publish, and shares a link with teammates on paid plans with cloud agents enabled.

## What changed

- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- Team admins can see every app and secret, add custom security-review rules, approve publishes the review blocked, and unpublish any app.
- 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.
- Available on all paid plans with cloud agents enabled.

## In the source's words

> "Now, you can build live apps directly in Cursor and share them with a link."

## 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.
