Cursor – Admin API

The Admin API lets you programmatically access your team’s data, including member information, usage metrics, and spending details. Perfect for building custom dashboards, monitoring tools, or integrating with your existing workflows.

The API is currently in its first release. We’re actively expanding capabilities based on user feedback, so let us know what endpoints you’d like to see next!

Authentication

All API requests require authentication using an API key. Only team administrators can create and manage API keys.

Creating an API Key

Navigate to cursor.com/dashboard → Settings tab → Cursor Admin API Keys in your dashboard
Click Create New API Key
Give your key a descriptive name (e.g., “Usage Dashboard Integration”)
Copy the generated key immediately - you won’t be able to see it again!

Format of the key is key_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Using Your API Key

Use your API key as the username in basic authentication. You can do this in two ways:

Using curl with basic auth:

curl https://api.cursor.com/{route} -u API_KEY:

Or by setting the Authorization header directly:

Authorization: Basic {base64_encode('API_KEY:')}

Base URL

All API endpoints use the following base URL:

https://api.cursor.com
