Cursor

Cursor is an AI-powered IDE that supports OpenAI-compatible APIs and MCP (Model Context Protocol). By connecting Cursor to DeepIntShield, you get access to any provider/model in your DeepIntShield configuration, plus MCP tools and governance features like virtual keys.

Setup

1. Open Cursor Settings

   Press Cmd+, (macOS) or Ctrl+, (Windows/Linux) and navigate to Models.

2. Enter your API key

   In the OpenAI API Key field, enter your DeepIntShield virtual key or provider API key.

3. Override the base URL

   Toggle Override OpenAI Base URL to ON and enter your DeepIntShield endpoint:

   http://localhost:8080/cursor

   For deployed instances, use your DeepIntShield deployment URL (e.g., https://deepintshield.example.com/cursor).

4. Add custom models (optional)

   Type a model name in the Add or search model field using the provider/model-name format:

   

   Examples: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929, openai/gpt-5, gemini-2.5-pro

   Provider	Format	Example
   Anthropic	anthropic/model-name	anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929
   Gemini	model-name	gemini-2.5-pro
   OpenAI	openai/model-name	openai/gpt-5
   Bedrock	bedrock/model-name	bedrock/anthropic.claude-3
   Vertex (non-Gemini)	vertex/model-name	vertex/text-bison
   Other providers	provider/model-name	groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile

Using Virtual Keys

DeepIntShield Virtual Keys can be used as the OpenAI API Key in Cursor. Virtual keys let you enforce budgets, rate limits, and provider access controls for each user or team.

Model Selection

Cursor assigns models to different features — Chat, Agent, Inline Edit, and Tab Completion. After configuring DeepIntShield, you can assign any provider/model-name to each feature for optimal cost and performance:

• Use a powerful model like openai/gpt-5 or anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 for Agent mode
• Use a fast model like groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile for Tab completion

Using Multiple Providers

DeepIntShield routes requests to the correct provider based on the model name. Use the provider/model-name format to access any configured provider through the single OpenAI-compatible endpoint:

anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929
openai/gpt-5
gemini/gemini-2.5-pro
mistral/mistral-large-latest

Supported Providers

DeepIntShield supports the following providers with the provider/model-name format:

openai, anthropic, azure, gemini, vertex, bedrock, mistral, groq, cerebras, cohere, perplexity, xai, ollama, openrouter, huggingface, nebius, parasail, replicate, vllm, sgl

Caution

Non-native models must support tool use for Cursor’s agent mode and inline editing to work properly. Models without tool use support will only work for basic chat.

Note

Cursor’s “Override OpenAI Base URL” is a global setting that applies to all OpenAI-compatible models. This works well with DeepIntShield since DeepIntShield handles routing to the correct provider based on the model name.

Observability

All Cursor requests through DeepIntShield are logged. Monitor them at http://localhost:8080/logs — filter by provider, model, or search through conversation content.
