Integrations / Cursor
Use API Models in Cursor (custom OpenAI base URL)
Cursor lets you override the OpenAI base URL and key, so you can route its requests through API Models — handy when official access is restricted or you want lower cost.
Override Base URL: https://apimodels.app/api/v1. Note: some Cursor features (Composer/agents) may require Cursor’s own backend.
Setup steps
- Create an API key in the API Models Console.
- Cursor → Settings → Models → OpenAI API Key: paste your key.
- Enable "Override OpenAI Base URL" and set it to https://apimodels.app/api/v1.
- Add a model name (e.g. gpt-5.1) and verify; then use it for chat / edits.
