Use Cursor with Airoutly

Cursor lets you override the OpenAI Base URL, so Airoutly models can power Cursor's chat. Read the limits first: Cursor decides which features use your key.

Base URL
https://api.airoutly.com/v1
Where
Cursor Settings → Models → OpenAI

1. Open model settings

Open Cursor Settings → Models and find the OpenAI section. Only that section has a Base URL override; the Anthropic and Google sections accept a key but not a custom address.

2. Override the Base URL

  1. Paste your Airoutly key and turn on Use API Key.
  2. Turn on the Base URL override and enter https://api.airoutly.com/v1.

3. Add model IDs

Add the models you want by their exact ID from the models page, then pick one in Chat or Agent and send a message. The request appears in the console under Usage logs.

Limits in Cursor

  • Your own key only applies to chat models. Tab completion keeps using Cursor’s built-in models.
  • The OpenAI section is meant for standard, non-reasoning chat models.
  • Requests go through Cursor’s servers before reaching Airoutly.
  • Bring-your-own-key isn’t available on every Cursor plan, and Cursor’s zero data retention doesn’t cover requests made with your own key.
Cursor's own modelsWhile the override is on, Cursor may send its built-in model requests to the same address too. Turn the override off when you want to use Cursor’s models.
