Cursor Setup Guide
After setup, you can operate CloudBase services directly from Cursor’s AI chat.
Examples:
- "Build a WeChat Mini Program ordering system with CloudBase" — AI scaffolds pages, creates the cloud database, writes cloud functions, and guides preview
- "Build a reservation management system that lets users place orders and admins update status" — AI models it with CloudBase PostgreSQL, configures permissions, and wires up frontend and backend
- "Add phone-number login to a Web app" — AI enables the auth method and integrates the CloudBase SDK
No need to switch to the Cloud console — you can do everything in Cursor with natural language.
Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure you have:
Node.js and a CloudBase environment ready
Node.js: Install Node.js v18.15.0 or later:
node --version
If you don’t have it installed, download it from the Node.js website.
CloudBase environment: See Create a CloudBase environment. New users on the domestic site can start for free.
Remote needs only a URL — your client walks you through browser authorization, so no keys land in config files.
Configure your AI tool to connect with CloudBase capabilities. Supports local and remote connection. See connection modes.
