AI Integrations

AI coding agents

Deploy to Buddy with your favorite AI coding agents - pipelines, sandboxes, domains and logs from your terminal or editor.
Buddy's Remote MCP Server is available.

Cursor + Buddy

Cursor is an AI-first code editor built around an agent that understands your entire project - reading across the codebase, running commands, and editing files wherever changes are needed. Paired with Buddy, it deploys your project, triggers and monitors pipelines, ships changes across environments, and digs through build output when something needs fixing.

Cursor keeps the agent inside the editor, so a deployment is one prompt away from the file you were just changing. The MCP server is registered per project in .cursor/mcp.json, so each repository can point at a different Buddy workspace.

Info
This page is a quick overview. For the full walkthrough - including MCP setup - see the Cursor docs. You can also run agents in a fully isolated Buddy sandbox or as a pipeline action.

Quick start

1 Install the Buddy CLI
npm install -g bdy

3 Link your project
bdy proj link

4 Install the Buddy skill
npx skills add buddy/buddy-plugin

5 Start the Cursor agent
cursor-agent

Open your project in Cursor and start the agent with ⌘I / Ctrl+I, or launch it from the terminal with the Cursor CLI. The Buddy skill teaches the agent how to drive Buddy through the CLI.

Example prompts

  • “Create a Next.js app and deploy it to production”
  • “Deploy my app, set up a CDN, and buy and configure a domain with SSL”
  • “Add a pipeline that runs on every change in the repository and executes my test suite”
  • “Check my app logs and open issues based on what you find”

Available commands

Available commands
bdy proj link
Link the current directory with a project in Buddy. See bdy project.
bdy sandbox
Create, start and manage on-demand sandboxes with apps, endpoints and snapshots.
bdy pipeline
Create, run and inspect pipelines and their runs.
bdy tunnel
Expose a locally running app to the internet over HTTP, TCP or TLS. See bdy tunnel.
bdy artifact
Publish, download and version build artifacts, including static sites.
bdy domain
Search, buy and manage domains used in distribution routes.

Connect MCP

Buddy's remote MCP server exposes over 90 tools, so Cursor can run pipelines, manage deployments, and read logs straight through the API. Add the server to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "buddy": {
      "url": "https://mcp.buddy.works/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Point it at the endpoint closest to your workspace region - mcp.buddy.works, mcp.eu.buddy.works or mcp.asia.buddy.works - and use the ?tools= parameter to narrow the exposed tool categories.
