Edgee’s OpenAI-compatible API works seamlessly with Cursor, letting you route AI requests through Edgee to gain observability, cut costs, and access any provider’s models from one place.

​
Setup

1

Open Cursor Settings

In Cursor, go to Settings → Cursor Settings → Models.
2

Configure your API key

Scroll down to the API Keys section and do the following:
  1. Enable OpenAI API Key
  2. Paste in your Edgee API key
  3. Enable Override OpenAI Base URL
  4. Set the base URL to:
https://api.edgee.ai/v1
You can find your Edgee API key in the Edgee Console.
3

Add a model

Scroll up to Add or search model and enter any model from the Edgee model list.Click Add, then toggle it on.
You must use model IDs from the Edgee model list. Cursor lets you type any string, but only models supported by Edgee will work.
You’re set. Cursor will now route requests through Edgee.
Token compression is only available when routing through Edgee. You can use your own provider keys via BYOK — compression still applies as long as requests go through Edgee.

​
Benefits

Any model, one key

Access models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and more using a single Edgee API key.

Cost reduction

Edgee’s token compression reduces costs by up to 30% on supported models with no change to output quality.

Observability

Every request is logged in the Edgee Console with token counts, latency, and cost breakdowns.

Reliability

Automatic retry and fallback across providers keeps your Cursor sessions running even when a provider has issues.
