Deploy a Site in 60s with Cursor + deplo.sh

Go from an idea to a live URL in under 60 seconds — entirely inside Cursor.

Prerequisites

• Cursor installed
• A deplo.sh account with an API key (get one here)

Step 1: Add the deplo.sh MCP server to Cursor

Open Cursor's MCP settings and add:

{
  "deplo": {
    "url": "https://mcp.deplo.sh",
    "env": {
      "DEPLO_KEY": "sk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    }
  }
}

That's the only setup. No npm install, no CLI, no config files.

Step 2: Ask Cursor to build and deploy

Open Cursor's AI chat and type:

Build a landing page for a coffee shop called "Bean Counter" with a hero section, menu, and contact info. Then deploy it to deplo.sh.

Cursor will:

1. Generate the HTML/CSS/JS files
2. Call the deploy MCP tool automatically
3. Return the live URL

Step 3: Iterate

Ask Cursor to make changes:

Change the hero background to dark brown and add a "Order Online" button. Redeploy.

Each redeployment creates a new version. You can roll back to any previous version at any time.

What happened under the hood

You typed a prompt
  → Cursor generated HTML
  → Cursor called MCP tool: deploy({ files: [...], project: "bean-counter" })
  → deplo.sh uploaded files to Cloudflare R2
  → deplo.sh returned https://bean-counter.deplo.sh
  → You got a live URL in < 5 seconds

No Git push. No build pipeline. No Vercel dashboard. No DNS config.

Tips

• Set a TTL — for prototypes, ask Cursor: "deploy with a 7-day TTL" so it auto-expires
• Use a project name — consistent project names mean a stable URL across redeployments
• Deploy directories — Cursor can generate multi-file sites (HTML + CSS + JS) and deploy them as a static_site
• JSON APIs — ask Cursor to deploy JSON data as a live API endpoint

What's next?

• MCP Server reference — all available MCP tools
• Deploy from Claude Desktop — same workflow, different AI host
• Ship a JSON mock API — deploy data, not just pages
• Quickstart — CLI-based deployment
