Why use Secrypt inside Cursor
If you want IDE assistance without sending every repo prompt into a mainstream training pipeline narrative, a private OpenAI-compatible endpoint is a practical middle ground.
Secrypt Cipher keeps the OpenAI client shape Cursor expects while staying under Secrypt’s privacy-oriented product contract.
Setup steps
- Sign in at secrypt.space → Account → Create API key (copy sk_sec_… once).
- In Cursor Settings → Models, enable OpenAI-compatible / override base URL.
- Base URL: https://secrypt.space/v1
- API key: your sk_sec_ key
- Model: cipher
Usage and costs
Cursor agent loops can burn many requests. Watch Account → API usage. After your daily API allowance, each request spends $0.01 in credits — top up before long refactors.
Troubleshooting
401 means a missing or revoked key. 429 means daily API quota is exhausted and credits are empty. Confirm Host/base URL is https://secrypt.space/v1 (not /chat/v1).
Frequently asked questions
Does Cursor work with Secrypt?
Yes. Use OpenAI compatibility mode with base URL https://secrypt.space/v1 and model cipher.
Will Cursor agent mode drain my credits?
It can. Agent workflows issue many completions. Keep credits funded or stay within your daily API allowance.
