New here. Apologies if I missed this in the documentation, but how does the code go from the chat window to the file system? Is this still a manual process? I got the MCP server connected with Cursor, but that’s where I seemed to lose my mojo. Before I jump into the code, any quick advice?
I am not sure if I understand what you request. Is this just a technical question so you want to understand how it is working or do you have a specific problem and something is not working?
Hi @leex279, thanks for getting back to me!
I was primarily trying to understand whether the code generated in the chat window is automatically written to the file system or if that part of the process is still manual. I’ve been able to get my MCP server connected with Cursor, but after that, I’m not seeing any automatic file creation or syncing—just the output in the chat window and some logging in the workbench.
Since I’m still new to Archon, I’m also curious about which functional elements (like file generation or live IDE integration) are fully implemented versus what’s planned for future iterations. I’d love to contribute and help build out some of these features if there’s interest!
Any quick pointers or advice for a newcomer on where to start would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the support and looking forward to learning more and contributing!

I think the writing files should already work with the MCP integration, as cole shows in his video with Windsurf. So I guess you just not using Cursor correct. As far as I know, in Cursor you need to use the “Composer” if you want to write files from scratch. This is not working from Chat.

Thanks @leex279 for responding here!
Also to add on, if you are using Archon directly within the Streamlit UI, the code isn’t written out to a file at all. You would just copy the outputs and create the files yourself.
Different story in the AI IDEs like Cursor of course, they can create the files.
