Updating old codebases usually means hours of re-configuring environments, fixing broken dependencies, and hunting for lost secrets. In this walkthrough, we use Cursor IDE and the new Auth0 plugin to automatically resurrect a 2-year-old Python Flask application. Watch how AI seamlessly sets up the Auth0 CLI, generates environment variables, and configures our authentication tenant from scratch.
What You'll Learn
- How to install and navigate the Auth0 plugin within Cursor IDE.
- Using AI prompts to automate Auth0 tenant creation and Flask secret key generation.
- Navigating the Auth0 CLI device authorization code flow inside an AI environment.
- Troubleshooting AI prompt timeouts and natively restarting development servers via Cursor.
