Use aicentos in Cursor — connect through custom OpenAI-compatible settings
Last updated:
Cursor supports a custom OpenAI-compatible API. Point the Base URL at aicentos and fill in the API Key, and the models aicentos offers become available in Chat / Composer.
Prerequisites
First create a dedicated key for Cursor on the console's "API Keys" page (naming it cursor-desktop or cursor-work makes usage easier to track).
Configuration to fill in
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| API Key | The key created in the console |
| Base URL | https://aicentos.com/v1 |
| Model | A model name from the Model Gallery in the console |
Setup steps
- Open Cursor's settings.
- Go to the Models or API Keys area.
- Find the OpenAI API Key / custom OpenAI-compatible settings / Base URL override option.
- Enter the API Key you created in the aicentos console.
- Set the Base URL to:
https://aicentos.com/v1 - To add models manually, enter the model names from the console (see Supported models).
- Save and click Verify, or simply start a new conversation to test.
Test
After saving, send a simple prompt first to confirm the connection works before using Composer / Chat for real.
Notes
- A custom API Key usually only applies to standard chat models.
- Tab completion and some Agent capabilities may still go through Cursor's own service.
- If Verify fails, check: whether the Base URL is correct (only up to
/v1), whether the key has extra spaces, whether the model is available, whether the account balance is sufficient, and whether the custom OpenAI provider is selected.
