Connect with Cursor

This page explains how to run models from Modular Cloud on Cursor.

Custom models work in Chat, Composer, and Edit modes. Tab autocomplete uses Cursor’s built-in model and doesn’t support custom endpoints.

Before you begin

Make sure you have:

To point Cursor at the Modular Cloud API:

Open Cursor and go to Settings > Models.
Expand the API Keys section.
Paste your Modular Cloud API key in the OpenAI API Key field.
Enable Override OpenAI Base URL and paste the following URL:
https://api.modular.com/v1

Cursor automatically saves your changes.

To add a Modular Cloud model to Cursor:

Choose the model that you want from our list of shared endpoints or use a dedicated endpoint if applicable.
Open Settings > Models in Cursor.
In the Models section, click View All Models > Add Custom Model.
Enter the model ID:
minimax/minimax-m3
Click Add and make sure the model is enabled.

Once that’s done, open a Chat, Composer, or Edit panel in Cursor and select the Modular Cloud model from the model picker.
