Use this interactive demo to learn how to integrate Claude into your Cursor editor using an Anthropic API key.

Quick summary

Adding Claude to Cursor requires entering your Anthropic API key in Cursor's settings and enabling it via the Models panel. Once activated, Claude becomes available as an AI model directly inside your Cursor coding environment.


Steps

  1. Open Cursor's settings page, navigate to the left-side panel, and click 'Models'.
  2. Find and click the 'API Keys' menu within the settings panel.
  3. Enter your Anthropic API key into the provided input field.
  4. Switch on the toggle button next to the API key field to enable it.
  5. Click 'Enable Anthropic Key' to confirm and save your request.
  6. After completing these steps, Claude will be successfully added to your Cursor account.

📌 Why this matters

Integrating Claude into Cursor lets developers access Anthropic's powerful AI model directly inside their code editor, streamlining AI-assisted coding without switching between tools. Cursor's support for custom API keys means teams can bring their own Anthropic credentials, giving them full control over model access and usage costs. This setup is ideal for developers who want Claude's advanced reasoning and code generation capabilities embedded in their existing workflow. Connecting Claude to Cursor via an Anthropic API key takes under five minutes and requires no additional plugins or extensions.
