Deploy Cursor sites with VibeDeploy
Cursor is the IDE most AI-native developers use. VibeDeploy ships from the Cursor terminal in seconds, with EU hosting, custom domains, and automatic SSL.
Why VibeDeploy for Cursor
Cursor is the editor; it does not host. To take what you build to production, you need a deploy target. VibeDeploy slots in as the EU-resident equivalent of Vercel, optimised for the AI-edit-deploy loop.
One-command CLI
Run vibedeploy deploy from the Cursor terminal. The CLI detects your framework, runs the build, and uploads the output. ~10 seconds end-to-end.
Magic file for AI agents
Drop a .vibedeploy.txt in the repo. Any AI agent (Cursor, Aider, Claude Code) can read it and ship without you re-typing deploy steps.
Framework detection
Vite, Next.js (static export), Astro, SvelteKit, plain HTML. The CLI figures out the build command and output directory automatically.
How to deploy a Cursor site

Add a custom domain
Either via CLI or the dashboard. SSL provisioning is automatic.
vibedeploy domains add example.com - 5
Wire up the magic file for AI agents
Save your project config so Cursor's AI knows how to redeploy. The .vibedeploy.txt persists in the repo.
# .vibedeploy.txt project: my-app token: vbd_xxx framework: auto # Cursor or any AI agent can read this # and run "vibedeploy deploy" without prompting

Common questions about deploying Cursor
Does VibeDeploy support Next.js apps from Cursor?expand_more
Static export and SPA-mode Next.js work out of the box. Server-side rendering and API routes require running the Next.js server, which is not part of VibeDeploy's static-edge model. For SSR-heavy Next.js, use the Vercel/self-hosted route. For static-export Next.js, just deploy.
Can the AI in Cursor deploy automatically?expand_more
Yes. The .vibedeploy.txt magic file gives any agent (Cursor, Aider, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot Chat) the deploy context. The agent reads it and runs vibedeploy deploy without further prompting.
What's the latency from Cursor's save to live URL?expand_more
Typical: 8 to 15 seconds for a small SPA, including build time. The upload itself is sub-second over a normal connection. Subsequent deploys are faster because of incremental upload.
Can I deploy a private staging environment?expand_more
Yes, on Studio plan and above. Each site gets a parallel staging URL with its own subdomain, password-protected by default.
