Cursor setup
Point Cursor at Strix. Other clients use the same `/v1` API.
Strix works with Cursor and other OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible clients. Codex, OpenCode, Cline, Roo Code, Continue, Aider, and Claude Code use the same Strix account; see the quickstart for each wire protocol.
Open Cursor Models, then enter:
- Base URL:
https://api.strixgate.dev/v1/cursor - API key: your Strix API key
- First model:
strix-auto
If the link does not open: Settings → Models → enable Override OpenAI Base URL, paste the values, add strix-auto, verify.
Add only what you need in the picker. The public catalog:
| Model ID | Use |
|---|---|
strix-auto | Default — classify each turn |
strix-coding | Everyday coding |
strix-quick | Fast / cheap |
strix-deep | Hard multi-file |
strix-bug-hunt | Debugging |
strix-visual | UI / CSS |
strix-writing | Docs |
strix-research | Investigation |
strix-uncensored | Optional unfiltered lane |
Leave the chat model on strix-auto unless the job is already obvious (strix-bug-hunt, strix-visual). https://api.strixgate.dev/v1 also works if you prefer the generic OpenAI path.
GET /v1/models is the live public list (nine ids). Hidden ids still route if typed; they are not for the picker. Routing evidence is in x-strix-* headers.
Optional memory MCP (same strix_… key) — Cursor → MCP → URL https://api.strixgate.dev/mcp with Authorization: Bearer <key>. Silent inject still works if you skip this. See memory.
