Cursor IDE

Cursor lets you register a custom OpenAI-compatible model in its settings.

Installation

Cursor is a standalone desktop editor (a fork of VS Code), not a plugin — download it directly from the official site.

  1. Go to cursor.com/download. The site detects your OS automatically (macOS, Windows, or Linux).
  2. Windows: run the downloaded .exe and follow the installer.
  3. macOS: open the .dmg and drag Cursor into Applications.
  4. Linux: download the .AppImage, make it executable (chmod +x Cursor-*.AppImage) and run it, or use the .deb/.rpm package if offered.
  5. Open Cursor. You can skip signing in / the trial — a Cursor account isn't required to use a custom OpenAI-compatible model.

Setup

  1. Open SettingsModels.
  2. Enable OpenAI API Key under custom models.
  3. Set the Base URL override to https://api.dravenai.lat/v1.
  4. Paste your sk-drv-... key.
  5. Add your-model-id as a model id, then select it from the model picker.
If your Cursor version doesn't show a Base URL field for a given model, use "Add custom model" rather than editing a built-in one.
