Abstract: We study the deformation theory of the Stanley-Reisner rings associated to cluster complexes for skew-symmetrizable cluster algebras of geometric and finite cluster type. In particular, we show that in the skew-symmetric case, these cluster complexes are unobstructed, generalizing a result of Ilten and Christophersen in the $A_n$ case. We also study the connection between cluster algebras with universal coefficients and cluster complexes. We show that for a full rank positively graded cluster algebra $mathcalA$ of geometric and finite cluster type, the cluster algebra $mathcal{A}^{mathrmuniv}$ with universal coefficients may be recovered as the universal family over a partial closure of a torus orbit in a multigraded Hilbert scheme. Likewise, we show that under suitable hypotheses, the cluster algebra $mathcal{A}^{mathrmuniv}$ may be recovered as the coordinate ring for a certain torus-invariant semiuniversal deformation of the Stanley-Reisner ring of the cluster complex. We apply these results to show that for any cluster algebra $mathcalA$ of geometric and finite cluster type, $mathcalA$ is Gorenstein, and $mathcalA$ is unobstructed if it is skew-symmetric. Moreover, if $mathcalA$ has enough frozen variables then it has no non-trivial torus-invariant deformations. We also study the Gr"obner theory of the ideal of relations among cluster and frozen variables of $mathcalA$. As a byproduct we generalize previous results in this setting obtained by Bossinger, Mohammadi and N'ajera Ch'avez for Grassmannians of planes and $extGr(3,6)$.
