Access notes

Direct access

Cursor IDE accessible from China. AI features routed through Cursor servers.

Recommended path

1

Start from the main Cursor profile and confirm whether it fits your task.

2

If you only want to test it, use the free web product before upgrading.

3

Run one or two real tasks before paying or switching providers.

4

If access is unstable, compare relay options or local alternatives.

Production decision checks

Production budget

Cursor free credits are for validation. Before launch, record cost per 1K requests, retry-adjusted cost, and a monthly spend cap.

Compatibility check

If you already use the OpenAI SDK, verify Cursor base URL, model names, streaming, tool calling, and JSON mode before migration.

Fallback rule

Keep one similar provider or OpenLLMAPI route ready so credit exhaustion, regional access issues, or model deprecations do not break users.
