Cursor
5/20/26Less than 1 minute
Cursor is a VS Code-based AI editor. It ships its own subscription, but also supports BYO key via custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Entry
Cursor Settings → Models (Cmd/Ctrl + ,, search "model").
Steps
- Disable Cursor's built-in GPT / Claude models
- Bottom of the page, "OpenAI API Key" section:
- API Key:
sk-your-key - Base URL / Override OpenAI Base URL:
https://bridge.pulseneko.com/v1
- API Key:
- Hit "Verify"
- Add the models you want under "Model Names" (Cursor won't auto-list):
gpt-5.1claude-sonnet-4-6claude-opus-4-7- …
Caveats
Cursor's BYO mode is called OpenAI mode. All calls route through /v1/chat/completions, including Claude (translated by Bridge). This is usually fine, but a few Claude-only schemas may differ slightly. Heavy Claude users should use Claude Code directly.
Composer / Tab autocomplete
Composer (multi-file agent) and Tab autocomplete both go through your endpoint. Notes:
- Tab autocomplete is very high QPS; use a dedicated key with a quota cap
- Composer sessions burn tokens fast; pick value-tier models (haiku / mini)
