Connecting to Cursor

Connect your Cursor account to CloudZero to bring your Cursor cost and usage data into a unified view of all your cloud and AI spend. CloudZero organizes your Cursor costs, along with your other costs, into categories (called Dimensions) that matter most to your business. For example: business unit, team, product, feature, environment, customer, or virtually anything else. Once connected and organized, you can quickly answer questions about your spend that matter to your stakeholders.

This guide covers creating an API key in Cursor and configuring the connection in CloudZero. CloudZero ingests per-user usage events, billing group membership, and daily usage data. The connection is read-only.

What you need

• CloudZero user with data configuration permissions
• A Cursor Teams or Enterprise plan account
• Cursor team administrator access (required to create API keys)

Step 1: Create an API key in Cursor

Create a Team API key with Admin scope in your Cursor account. See Creating API Keys in Cursor's documentation for instructions.

Copy the key before closing the page. You will need it in the next step.

Step 2: Configure the connection in CloudZero

1. In CloudZero, go to Settings > Cloud Connections.
2. Select Create Connection + and select the Cursor tile.
3. Enter a Connection Name. This label identifies the connection throughout CloudZero.
4. Enter the API key you created in Step 1.
5. Select Create Connection.

What to expect

After you connect, CloudZero begins ingesting your Cursor cost and usage data. Your Cursor costs appear across the platform within 24 hours. Once data is available, you can view costs broken down by user, billing group, model, and repository (Enterprise only).

From there, your Cursor costs work like any other cost data in CloudZero. For example, you can organize them by team or product using Dimensions, track trends in Dashboards, set Budgets, or ask questions in the AI Hub.
