Cursor Bridge – Run Unlimited Claude Code on Your Cursor Subscription
Cursor-bridge is a new open-source tool that allows users to run the Claude Code CLI using their existing Cursor subscription backend. It eliminates the need for separate API keys or complex proxy configurations by leveraging the user's authenticated Cursor session.
Why it matters
It provides a cost-effective way for developers to utilize advanced AI coding agents by maximizing the value of existing subscription services.
One binary. Claude Code on Cursor's backend. Zero config.
You have a Cursor subscription . You want to use Claude Code (the CLI). Cursor's Auto model is included with your subscription — free, unlimited, no extra per-token cost.
Without cursor-bridge, you'd pay separately for Anthropic API credits or a Claude Pro plan. With cursor-bridge, you just run cursor-bridge and it works — Claude Code runs on your Cursor backend.
