Cursor
Override the OpenAI base URL in Cursor
Cursor can send OpenAI-compatible chat requests to orientx. You keep using Cursor's UI; only the models you attach to this key leave Cursor's own backend.

Open model settings
In Cursor: Settings → Models (or search "OpenAI API Key" in the command palette).
Point Cursor at orientx
- Paste your orientx key into the OpenAI API Key field.
- Enable Override OpenAI Base URL and set it to
https://api.orientx.ai/v1. - Add the model ids you want to use. They must match
idvalues fromGET /v1/modelsexactly — Cursor will not invent names.
Select one of those models in the chat / agent picker before sending.
Tab completion and some Agent features still run on Cursor-hosted models. Only requests for the
custom OpenAI models you added go to orientx. If a request fails with 400, the model likely does
not support a parameter Cursor sent (tools, vision, and similar).
