Cursor

Cursor is an AI-first IDE with a built-in agent mode, making it one of the most straightforward ways to develop on Anybuild locally.

Setup

Download and install Cursor from cursor.com. Clone your application first, then open the folder in Cursor:

anybuild clone <your-app-url>

Alternatively, open Cursor in an empty folder and run the clone command from the integrated terminal.

Working with multiple applications

If your instance has more than one application, consider opening your IDE at the instance level rather than inside a single application:

my_instance/
  app1/    ← anybuild clone <app1-url>
  app2/    ← anybuild clone <app2-url>

Open the my_instance/ folder in Cursor. The AI can then see and work across all your applications in one session. CLI commands must be run from inside a specific application folder - open a terminal per application when you need to push or pull.

Workflow

Prompt the agent

Open Composer in agent mode and describe what you want to build or change. The AGENTS.md file at the root of your project is picked up automatically - no manual context loading needed.

Review changes

anybuild status

Lists all locally modified files across the tracked folders (ui/lit/components, be/node, be/plv8).

Push to the platform

anybuild push

Deploys your changes back to the Anybuild application.

Pull latest

anybuild pull

Fetches the latest version of your application code from the platform.
