Step-by-step guide to installing and using the Codapt extension in Cursor
Step 1: Install Codapt
Install Cursor
Download and install Cursor and open it.
Open the Extensions Marketplace
The Cursor Extension Marketplace icon is at the top of the left sidebar. You can also press Ctrl + Shift + X (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + X (Mac) on your keyboard.
Search for Codapt
Search for “Codapt” in the Marketplace.
Install Codapt
Click “Install” to add Codapt to your Cursor extensions.
Step 2: Open Codapt
Open the Primary Sidebar
Click the Toggle Primary Sidebar button (or press Cmd + B on Mac / Ctrl + B on Windows) in the top-right corner to open the primary sidebar on the left.
Select Codapt
In the newly opened left sidebar, click the dropdown icon and select Codapt.
Pin Codapt (Optional)
If you hover over Codapt, you can see a “pin” icon appear on the right. Click on it to pin Codapt to the top bar so it’s easier to find in the future.

Step 3: Create a new Codapt project
Creating a new project in Codapt unlocks its full capabilities, including running your project in the cloud for instant preview.
Open the menu
Click the ⋮ (three dots) in the top-right corner.
Create a new project
Wait a few seconds and you should see the Codapt side panel pop up. Click Create a new project to pick a location for your Codapt project.
Step 4: Run your Codapt project
The first time you create a Codapt project, it takes some time for the server to warm up so the Preview App button will load for a couple minutes. Codapt will refresh the app every time it completes a request, so you can also go straight and start working on your first prompt.
Wait for the server to warm up
The Preview App button will show a loading state while the server warms up.
Click Preview App
After it finishes loading, click the Preview App button.
Click Open
Click Open to launch your app in the browser.
View your app
Congrats! Now you should see a blank page with “Hello world!”, which means your Codapt app is running on the Cloud! Now you are all set to make your first request in the chat!

Key points to remember
Important: Changes to your repository will appear after Codapt finishes processing your request.
Codapt can access your entire codebase, allowing you to reference any file or folder. However, Codapt does not retain chat history—it cannot see previous messages or its own replies. Be sure to include all necessary context in each message.
