CORS Generator

CORS errors are the bane of frontend development. Describe your setup and get the exact configuration you need for your stack.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-cors "frontend on localhost:3000, API on localhost:8080"

What It Does

Generates CORS config for your specific server/framework
Handles complex setups with multiple origins
Includes credentials, headers, and method configuration
Works with Express, Fastify, Next.js, and more

Usage Examples

# Local development
npx ai-cors "frontend on localhost:3000, API on localhost:8080"

# Production setup
npx ai-cors "React app on vercel, Express API on Railway"

# Multiple origins
npx ai-cors "allow requests from app.example.com and admin.example.com"

# With credentials
npx ai-cors "frontend on vercel, API on heroku, needs cookies"

Best Practices

Be specific about origins - don't use * in production
Allow only needed methods - GET, POST, not everything
Consider credentials - cookies require specific config
Test in incognito - browser caching can hide issues

When to Use This

"CORS blocked" errors in the console
Setting up a new API endpoint
Migrating frontend or backend to new domain
Adding authentication to an existing API
