Pay per token only. Errors are free, and prepaid credit never expires.
Switch from Cursor to Our API in Three Steps
Replace Cursor’s default model costs with our uncensored LLM by updating your base URL. First, generate your API key via email or Google sign-in on our portal. Second, paste that key into Cursor’s settings under the OpenAI API key field. Finally, set the model identifier to "uncensored" in your configuration. This drop-in replacement works with the official SDKs, allowing you to bypass monthly subscriptions while maintaining your existing coding workflows with low-latency responses.
Common Cursor API Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Developers often paste API keys directly into scripts, exposing credentials instead of using environment variables. Others ignore that Cursor still bills for tab completions even when using a custom key. Ensure your base_url points to our endpoint and verify model IDs like "uncensored" match our server. Avoid sending large payloads over 8 MB to prevent errors. Use streaming to handle latency properly.
Real-World Cost Examples for Cursor Development
Our API charges $0.15 per 1M input tokens and $0.50 per 1M output tokens, eliminating Cursor Pro subscription fees.
- A 50k input, 2k output request costs ~$0.0175.
- Streaming responses include token usage in the final chunk.
- Errors and refusals incur zero charges.
Prepaid credit never expires, ensuring predictable billing for your coding workflows.
How We Differ from Standard Cursor Alternatives
Our API eliminates subscription fees by charging only for actual token usage. Unlike managed services that bundle costs, we provide a transparent, pay-per-token model with prepaid crypto credit that never expires.
| Feature | Standard Subscription | Our Uncensored API |
|---|---|---|
| Cost Model | Monthly fee | $0.15/$0.50 per 1M tokens |
| Content Limits | Often restricted | Lawful uncensored generation |
| Credit Expiry | Reset monthly | No expiration |
What Developers Ask About Cursor API Keys
Does adding my key stop Cursor charges?
Yes, but only for chat and agent modes. Cursor still bills for code completions from the editor unless you disable them. You must verify your usage dashboard.
Is the API key safe?
Cursor treats it like any standard credential. Avoid hardcoding it in scripts. Use environment variables instead.
Does it replace Pro?
It bypasses subscription fees for LLM calls, but you may still pay for specific editor features.
What if I hit limits?
You get errors. Check your balance. Our API offers prepaid credit with no monthly expiration.
