Cursor Cloud Agents start from scratch without a connected repo, save to Origin
Cursor Cloud Agents no longer require a connected GitHub or other third-party SCM provider. Users pick "Start from scratch" and prompt the agent; Cursor quietly provisions an Origin repo in the background, and once the build looks good users click "Create repo" to save it with private or internal visibility in the Codebase tab. Live previews are port-forwarded straight to the browser, and publishing is one click via a connected Vercel account.
