Cursor models inside OpenCode — browser OAuth, live catalog discovery,
and a local OpenAI-compatible proxy tuned for agent loops.

Quick start · Authenticate · Why this plugin · Architecture · Troubleshooting · Changelog

---

Use every model on your Cursor subscription from OpenCode: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Composer, and Cursor Auto — with thinking, effort variants, streaming, and tool calls that actually finish.

No cursor-agent binary. No SDK child-process gymnastics. Direct Cursor API over HTTP/2.

Quick start

1. Install the plugin

npm install -g @otto-assistant/opencode-cursor-oauth

2. Register it in OpenCode

Add (or merge) this into ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "plugin": ["@otto-assistant/opencode-cursor-oauth"],
  "provider": {
    "cursor": { "name": "Cursor" }
  }
}

3. Sign in with Cursor (browser OAuth — not an API key)

opencode auth login --provider cursor

A browser window opens. Approve access. Tokens land in ~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json and refresh automatically.

4. Use a Cursor model

opencode run "Summarise this repository in five bullets." --model cursor/default

In the TUI: pick provider cursor, then a model (including Thinking / Fast / effort variants when Cursor exposes them).

From source (optional)

git clone https://github.com/otto-assistant/opencode-cursor.git
cd opencode-cursor
bun install && bun run build
npm install -g .

Authenticate

Step	What happens
opencode auth login --provider cursor	Starts PKCE browser OAuth
You approve in the browser	Cursor returns access + refresh tokens
Plugin stores credentials	~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json
Access expires	Plugin refreshes silently; permanent 4xx → re-login

If you use OpenChamber and never see an OAuth button, the plugin still prints a login URL and embeds it in the placeholder model name — open that URL, then reload.

You do not need a Cursor API key. Browser OAuth is the only supported path.

Why this plugin

Direct API	Talks to Cursor over HTTP/2. No cursor-agent install, no brittle CLI wrapper.
Native OAuth	opencode auth login — PKCE browser flow with automatic token refresh.
Live models	Discovers your account's catalog, including Thinking, Fast, 1M context, and effort levels.
Agent-grade streaming	Tool calls continue correctly; parked bridges resume with results instead of restating forever.
Phase-aware stalls	Reasoning gets time to think; silent post-tool hangs recover in ~90s, not minutes.
Measured speed	v2.2: first message −39% to −44% TTFB vs prior release (cold start + H2 pre-connect).

Architecture

OpenCode
  └─ /v1/chat/completions
       └─ Local OpenAI-compatible proxy
            └─ Node HTTP/2 bridge
                 └─ Cursor API (api2.cursor.sh)

Layer	Responsibility
Plugin hooks	OAuth, provider config, model catalog, selection headers
Proxy	OpenAI ↔ Cursor protocol, tool loops, stalls, checkpoints
Transport	Persistent / one-shot HTTP/2 bridges to Cursor

Model listings map Cursor's variant catalog into OpenCode-native choices (Opus 4.8, Opus 4.8 Thinking, effort low→max, Fast, …). Selection is encoded for the proxy so Cursor receives the exact RequestedModel parameters your account supports.

Performance notes

From the v2.2.0 release:

Scenario	Before	After
First message, gpt-5.4-nano	8.5s	4.8s
First message, cursor/default	6.1s	3.7s
Post-tool silent stall budget	180s	90s

Knobs (optional): OPENCODE_CURSOR_PRE_OUTPUT_STALL_TIMEOUT_MS, OPENCODE_CURSOR_POST_TOOL_PRE_OUTPUT_STALL_TIMEOUT_MS, OPENCODE_CURSOR_TOOL_DEBOUNCE_MS.

Debug logs: OPENCODE_CURSOR_DEBUG=1.

Requirements

• OpenCode
• Active Cursor subscription
• Bun (plugin runtime) · Node.js ≥ 18 (HTTP/2 bridge)

Development

bun install
bun run build
bun run test

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
Cursor missing from provider list	Confirm plugin includes @otto-assistant/opencode-cursor-oauth and restart OpenCode
"sign in required" / login URL in model name	Open the printed URL, approve OAuth, reload
Refresh rejected / re-login required	Run opencode auth login --provider cursor again
Model not found	Wait for live discovery after login; avoid relying on stale offline catalogs
Tool loop restates forever	Update to latest plugin — post-tool resume + phase-aware stalls are required

FAQ

Do I need to clone the repo?
No. Configure the npm package in opencode.json and OpenCode installs it.

Is this the same as cursor-agent bridges?
No. This plugin authenticates with Cursor OAuth and proxies the Cursor API directly. You do not need the cursor-agent CLI.
