# Quickstart: AI app builders

> [!NOTE]
> Using a local agentic code editor/harness?
> If you use an agentic code harness like Cursor, Claude Code, Kiro, OpenCode, etc, then ask it to read [the agentic coding agent quickstart](https://www.sanity.io/docs/getting-started/ai-coding-agents).

## 1. Connect Sanity

Add Sanity from your platform's connector or integrations list. Search for "Sanity" and sign in. Signing in creates your Sanity account if you don't have one yet.

Platforms that lists the Sanity connector: [v0](https://v0.app), [Bolt](https://bolt.new), [Lovable](https://lovable.dev), and [Replit](https://replit.com).

If Sanity isn't listed, add the [Sanity MCP server](https://www.sanity.io/docs/ai/mcp-server) manually with this configuration:

**MCP configuration**

```json
{
  "url": "https://mcp.sanity.io",
  "type": "http"
}
```

## 2. Describe your content and prompt the builder

Tell the builder what you're building and what content you already have, like Markdown files or hardcoded text. The prompt above asks it to turn that into Sanity content types, give you a place to edit them, and read them back into your app.

Paste this into your app builder to get started:

**Prompt**

```text
Add Sanity to manage content for this app. Use the Sanity connector if it's available. Turn my existing content (Markdown and hardcoded text) into Sanity content types, give me a place to edit it, and read it back into the app.
```

## 3. What the builder sets up

It creates a Sanity project with a public production dataset, deploys a schema for your content, adds CORS origins for client-side data loading, and gives you a hosted Studio (a `your-name.sanity.studio` URL) to edit in. Your existing content moves into Sanity and becomes the source of truth.

## 4. If your app can't load content

Ask the builder to add your platform's preview domain as a CORS origin: `https://*.vusercontent.net` for v0, `https://*.bolt.host` for Bolt, or `https://*.lovable.app` for Lovable.

## 5. Edit your content

Open the hosted Studio to add and edit content. Your changes show up in your app.
