Deploy NestJS with Cursor

Install the skill

Run this in your project and choose Local or Global.

npx ezhst skill install

Use Cursor's agent mode with terminal access, so it can run ezhst commands in your project.

If Cursor does not discover the skill, ask it to read the installed SKILL.md or skill.md first.

Tell Cursor to deploy

Deploy this NestJS app to EasyHost. Read the EasyHost skill first. Report the live URL when it is running.

What the agent runs

npx ezhst projects create my-project --link
npx ezhst apps create my-app
npx ezhst link --project <project-slug> --app <app-slug>
npx ezhst build set --start "node dist/main"
npx ezhst env import .env
npx ezhst deploy

The skill tells the agent to read the build log and fix failures. For NestJS, expect it to run:

• ezhst build set --start "node dist/main"

NestJS details to check

Run the compiled app with node dist/main and listen on process.env.PORT.

The default start script runs nest start, which recompiles at boot. Use node dist/main so the 512 MB container is not spent on compiling.

If the deploy fails

The agent should read the build log, fix the cause and deploy again. You can run the same commands yourself.

npx ezhst deployments log --json
npx ezhst logs --tail 200 --json

If the build passes but nothing loads, see why a NestJS app is unreachable. See the NestJS hub for every NestJS guide, or free NestJS hosting for what is included.

Frequently asked questions

Can Cursor create an EasyHost account for me?

Yes. The skill tells the agent to ask for your name, email and password and then register. You then give the agent the 6-digit verification code from your inbox, and it runs ezhst verify <code> before anything else.

Will Cursor see my secrets?

The agent can read files and command output in its session. The skill tells it to put secrets in env vars and not to print them back unless you ask.
