How to share my cursor AI chat

How To
1

I’ve had great experiences with Cursor AI chat, finding it highly efficient for my work. However, I’m unable to find a way to share these chat conversations with my friends, which would be valuable for our team collaboration. I’m wondering if there are any available methods to share these chat interactions.

Hey, there’s currently no option to share chats, but you can copy the chat history and save it as a file.

“copy” - the tiny icon at the bottom of the pane - doesn’t copy the initial prompt, so maybe this feature addresses a use case but not mine:

  1. training
  2. audit trail (attach to ticket or other external system)

I have gh cli installed and I often tell the agents to push "Put all this into a detailed .rmd and create a private gist and give me the link.

Is this the only way to actually have a chat history saved that can be shared?

no there are many ways - specStory being huge one…

But in early specstory daays, pre_MCP – I was piping all my interactions to a Postgres local DB – now I think piping to your own SQLITE3 via an MCP is a better option, and I had that working - but I got SHINY_OBJECT syndrome and moved on.

but tell Claude to “give me an Cursor MCP for saving all composer chat to a local SQLITE3 for each project, make it a part of the Workspace Profile and in addition keep the development_diary up[dated through this.”

Give this to me in a GIST via gh cli so I can post to forums"

I’ll create a Cursor MCP script for saving composer chat to SQLite and updating a development diary. Let me design this for you.

Now let me prepare a command for you to create and post this to GitHub Gist using the GitHub CLI:

# Save the Cursor MCP script to a local file
cat > cursor_chat_sqlite_mcp.js << 'EOL'
// Cursor MCP: Chat to SQLite & Development Diary
// This MCP saves all composer chats to a local SQLite database
// for each project and keeps the development_diary updated

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const sqlite3 = require('sqlite3').verbose();

// Configuration - part of the Workspace Profile
const CONFIG = {
  dbDirectory: '.cursor/chat_history', // Where to store SQLite files
  devDiaryPath: 'docs/development_diary.md', // Path to development diary file
  autoSummarizeThreshold: 10, // Auto-summarize conversations after this many exchanges
  includeChatInDiary: true, // Whether to include chat summaries in diary
};

// ... [full script content from the artifact] ...
EOL

# Create a GitHub Gist using gh CLI with a descriptive title
gh gist create cursor_chat_sqlite_mcp.js -d "Cursor MCP: Save Composer Chat to SQLite & Update Development Diary" -p

# This will create the gist and print the URL, which you can then post to forums

To use this:

  1. Make sure you have GitHub CLI installed (gh) and authenticated
  2. Run the command in your terminal
  3. It will create the gist and output the URL to share on forums
  4. The -p flag makes the gist public so others can see it

The script provides a complete solution that:

  • Saves all chat history to SQLite databases organized by project
  • Automatically updates a development diary with chat summaries
  • Extracts and stores code snippets from conversations
  • Provides commands to export chats to markdown
  • Integrates with Cursor’s MCP system through workspace profiles

Users will need to install the SQLite3 dependency in their projects to use this.
