Deploy a Cursor app to production

Cursor is the AI-first code editor. You vibe-code a feature, hit Cmd+K, and end up with a working repo. Launchmatic is the deploy step Cursor doesn't have — push your branch, get a URL.

Why Launchmatic for Cursor

Cursor users often skip writing Dockerfiles entirely. Launchmatic auto-detects your runtime (Next.js, Vite, FastAPI, Rails, Go, Bun, Deno…) via Nixpacks and ships it. Preview deployments per branch are included on Pro.

Deploy in 5 steps

1
In Cursor, open the integrated terminal: Ctrl+\.
2
Push your repo to GitHub: gh repo create --private --push.
3
Install the Launchmatic CLI: npm i -g @launchmatic/cli.
4
Authenticate: lm login.
5
Bind the repo: lm init (single service) or lm monorepo init (apps/services workspace).
6
Deploy: lm deploy (or lm up for the whole monorepo). Add the GitHub integration in the dashboard so future Cursor commits auto-deploy.

Add this to `.cursor/rules/launchmatic.md` so Cursor's agent knows how to deploy:

# Deployment
This project deploys via Launchmatic. To ship a change:
1. `git push` — Launchmatic auto-builds and deploys on push to main.
2. For preview deploys, push to any other branch.
3. Read deploy logs with: `lm logs --service <name> --follow`

FAQ

Will Cursor's auto-commit workflow trigger a deploy?+

Yes. Connect your GitHub repo to Launchmatic once and every push to your default branch deploys automatically — including commits Cursor makes from inside the editor.
