Cursor

Connect Cursor to APIClaw using Cursor's OpenAI-compatible override fields.

Cursor is an AI-native IDE that supports custom OpenAI API keys and base URLs. APIClaw exposes a fully OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so you can route Cursor chat, Composer, and inline edits through your APIClaw plan.

Prerequisites

  1. Create an API key in the API Keys dashboard.
  2. Copy a full model ID from the model hub.

Configure Cursor

  1. Open Cursor Settings.
  2. Go to Models.
  3. Enable OpenAI API Key.
  4. Enable Override OpenAI Base URL.
  5. Enter the values below.

If the model is not listed, click Add Custom Model, paste the full model ID, and select it manually. Turn off Auto mode and pick your custom model from the chat dropdown.
