Cursor works with AICredits when you use an OpenAI-compatible custom endpoint. This lets Cursor requests route through your AICredits wallet while still using familiar model IDs and chat formats.
Configuration
Open Cursor settings and configure the OpenAI-compatible provider:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| API key | sk-your-aicredits-key |
| Base URL | https://api.aicredits.in/v1 |
| Default model | openai/gpt-4o-mini or anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5 |
Cursor settings change over time. If the labels differ, look for settings named custom OpenAI endpoint, OpenAI base URL, or OpenAI-compatible provider.
Model Choices
| Cursor workflow | Recommended model |
|---|---|
| Quick edits and explanations | openai/gpt-4o-mini |
| Larger coding changes | anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5 |
| Long context analysis | google/gemini-2.5-flash |
| Cost-sensitive agent runs | deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash |
Environment Fallback
If your Cursor setup reads shell variables, use:
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-aicredits-key"
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.aicredits.in/v1"Restart Cursor after changing shell variables.
Verify
Ask Cursor:
Explain this repository in three bullet points.Then check Dashboard → Usage to confirm the request was billed through AICredits.
Troubleshooting
Cursor still uses another provider — Make sure the selected provider/model in Cursor is the OpenAI-compatible custom provider you configured.
Invalid API key — Use an AICredits key from Dashboard → API Keys.
Model dropdown does not include your model — Use a custom model ID field if available, or choose a model ID listed on Models.
