Deploy Center for VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf

See what is merged but not live on Vercel, Render and every other platform deploys knows, right where you code, and deploy it by hand in one click. It is the editor side of Deploy Center: auto-deploy stays off, and nothing builds unless you click Deploy and confirm.

Made for AI coding. When Claude Code or Cursor merges a few PRs, the status bar says ⏳ 3 waiting. When a build fails, Copy for AI puts the first error block on the clipboard, ready to paste back into the agent.

What it shows#

Status bar: ⏳ 3 waiting for the projects whose repo matches this folder's git remote (or all projects when none match), plus 1 failed and 2 building when there are any. Click it for Deploy (with confirmation), Open site, Show log and Copy release notes.
Tree "Deploy Center" in the Explorer: each project with its waiting commits and PRs, how long they have waited, and whether it is building or failed. Refresh is in the view's title bar.
Failed builds: Show log opens the build log as a read-only document (the "Deploy Center" output channel keeps its warnings and deploy results). Copy for AI copies the first error and the lines around it, with tokens and keys masked.

Commands#

Command	What it does
Deploy Center: Deploy Waiting for This Repo	Every waiting project of this folder's repo, after one confirmation
Deploy Center: Refresh	Read the projects again
Deploy Center: Show Actions	The status bar's quick pick
Deploy Center: Show Build Log / Copy Build Error for AI / Copy Release Notes / Open Site / Open Dashboard	For one project

Needs#

The deploys CLI, which comes with the free Mac app. It is looked for in this order:

the setting deployCenter.cliPath,
/Applications/Deploy Center.app/Contents/Resources/deploys,
~/Applications/Deploy Center.app/Contents/Resources/deploys,
deploys on PATH (also /opt/homebrew/bin and /usr/local/bin).

Without it, the status bar says deploys not found and offers the download and the setting.

Settings#

Setting	Default
`deployCenter.cliPath`	empty	Full path to `deploys`
`deployCenter.scope`	`auto`	`auto`: this repo's projects, else all. `repo`: only this repo's. `all`: every project
`deployCenter.pollMinutes`	`5`	How often to check while the window has focus. It also checks when the window gets focus again (at most once a minute)
`deployCenter.timeoutSeconds`	`120`	How long one CLI call may take
`deployCenter.logLines`	`200`	Lines of build log to show

How it works#

Every few minutes it runs deploys changed --json (what waits, from GitHub) and deploys status --json --no-github (building and failed, no GitHub calls), with execFile, an argument list and a timeout, never a shell. A deploy is deploys <platform> deploy-json <name>, which takes the same one-minute start lock as the app, so a double click cannot start two builds. Logs, release notes and the site address come from deploys logs, deploys notes and deploys open.

It does not read or send anything else. No telemetry.

Develop#

cd integrations/vscode
npm ci
npm test          # unit tests against a stand-in deploys
npm run build     # dist/extension.js
npm run package   # deploy-center-<version>.vsix

Press F5 in VS Code with this folder open to try it in an Extension Development Host, or install the .vsix with Extensions: Install from VSIX… (in Cursor and Windsurf too). Publishing: PUBLISHING.md.
