Using Cursor AI to control Qt Creator
-
I'm developing a plugin for Qt Creator that implements MCP (Model Context Protocol).
It's crazy, but i used Cursor AI itself to vibe-code the plugin. I'm stunned at how capable AI is.
Now i can tell cursor to open Qt Creator, load a session, then iterate on "make the build, fix the errors" loop, then run in the debugger, tell it to watch the log file, find the logging that indicates problems, fix the code, iterate.
while i sit there and watch
it's amazing.
Just thought i'd let y'all know. i have put it on github. still working on getting the "debug()" command to work, so not ready yet. the readme will be updated when we know that works.
