Secrets & environments
for Cursor

What you need to verify

For Cursor apps, secrets & environments requires explicit attention. Secrets in client code are public. Environment separation prevents accidents.

1. Identify which service owns this layer in your Cursor stack.
2. Separate preview and production configuration.
3. Verify failure behavior and owner alerts.
4. Document export or migration path.
5. Test with a non-admin user and real domain.

Common Cursor mistakes for Secrets & environments

• Assuming Cursor handles this automatically
• Using the same configuration for preview and production
• Not testing failure scenarios
• Forgetting to set up monitoring and alerts
