Cursor Integration

Use Scalekit with Cursor by running the local installer, enabling the auth plugin you need, and then prompting Cursor to generate the implementation in your existing codebase.

1. Install the authstack plugin (recommended)

   Terminal

   npx @scalekit-inc/cli setup

   For repeated use, install globally:

   Terminal

   npm install -g @scalekit-inc/cli
   scalekit setup

   The CLI detects Cursor and installs the authstack plugin directly.

2. Reload and select plugins

   Restart Cursor (or run Developer: Reload Window), then open Settings > Cursor Settings > Plugins.

   Enable the Scalekit plugins you need (AgentKit, SaaSKit, etc.).

   Alternative for other agents

   For 40+ agents (Windsurf, Cline, etc.) or to install skills manually, the CLI also offers the skills option, or run:

   npx skills add scalekit-inc/authstack

3. Generate the implementation

   Open Cursor’s chat panel with Cmd+L (macOS) or Ctrl+L (Windows/Linux) and paste in an implementation prompt from the feature page (or describe what you need in natural language). The installed Scalekit plugins provide the agent with accurate patterns.

   Review generated code

   Always review AI-generated authentication code before deployment. Verify that environment variables, token validation logic, and error handling match your application’s security requirements.

4. Verify the implementation

   After Cursor finishes generating code, confirm all authentication components are in place:

   • The Scalekit plugin appears in Settings > Cursor Settings > Plugins
   • Scalekit client initialized with your API credentials (set up a .env file with your Scalekit environment variables)
   • Authorization URL generation and callback handler
   • Session or token integration matching your application’s existing patterns
