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 SaaS 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 Admin 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.
This connection requires a Cursor Enterprise plan. Cursor's Admin API and per-repository attribution are Enterprise-only. Teams plan customers can connect with reduced accuracy: cost data by user, billing group, and model is captured, but per-repository attribution is not available.
What you need
- CloudZero user with data configuration permissions
- A Cursor Enterprise plan account
- Cursor team administrator access (required to create Admin API keys)
Step 1: Create an Admin API key in Cursor
For full details, see Cursor's API Overview.
- Sign in to your Cursor account and open the Cursor Dashboard.
- Navigate to Settings > Advanced > Admin API Keys.
- Select Create New Key and give it a descriptive name (for example, "CloudZero Integration").
- Copy the key and store it securely. Cursor does not display the key again after creation.
Step 2: Configure the connection in CloudZero
- In CloudZero, go to Settings > Cloud Connections.
- Select Create Connection + and select the Cursor tile.
- Enter a Connection Name. This label identifies the connection throughout CloudZero.
- Enter the Admin API Key you created in Step 1.
- Select Create Connection.
What to expect
After you connect, CloudZero begins ingesting your Cursor cost and usage data. Your Cursor costs appear in Explorer and Analytics 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.
