Connect Cursor to Homespun
Fastest way: hand this to your AI
Set me up with Homespun: run `npm i -g @homespunapps/cli`, then `homespun agent register --start --name home` and show me the approval link it prints. Once I tell you I have approved it, run `homespun agent register --resume`. Then read https://homespun.dev/skills/homespun/SKILL.md and ask me what app I want to build.
Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, or any other coding agent. It installs the CLI, hands you a link to approve (open it on any device, your phone included) and then asks what you want to build. It works the same whether the agent runs on this machine or in the cloud.
That is the whole setup for Cursor. It installs the Homespun CLI, gets you signed in, and then has the full command surface: deploy an app, read its data back, watch it live.
Prefer to run the commands yourself? They are on the Homespun CLI page, which is the same setup done by hand.
Windsurf, Cline and VS Code Copilot work exactly the same way. They each run a terminal agent, and the skill installer detects which one it is in, so there is one set of steps for the whole family and no settings file to edit in any of them.
Paste the prompt into the editor's own chat and let its agent run it, or run it in the editor's terminal: either way the key lands in your Homespun config and every project on that machine can deploy. Using something this guide does not name? Any other coding agent sets up identically.
If something goes wrong
The two most common snags are a blocked pop-up (the sign-in opens in a new window) and a shell that cannot find the homespun binary after installing it. The full troubleshooting list covers the rest, and the docs site explains what a connection can and cannot do.
What to build first
