SaaS Management: Cursor Connector

JumpCloud® AI & SaaS Management gives you visibility and control over shadow IT, including AI and SaaS app usage, within your org. Connectors detect shadow IT without adoption of a browser extension and provide a significant increase to valuable usage and security insights.

The Cursor connector retrieves the user list, MCP server connections, and AI model usage (including token count and cost) from the Cursor API every 6 hours. Using periodic polling, it captures new users and application associations to keep data accurate and up-to-date. 

Prerequisites:

  • You need a Cursor account with admin access.

Considerations:

  • Data Retrieval: This connector provides visibility into:
  • Cursor Users: An up-to-date list of all team members.
    A list of Cursor user accounts labeled as either managed or shadow accounts.
  • AI Token Usage: Provides aggregate usage data per AI model and estimated costs for individual users and the org.
    A line chart showing total AI token usage and estimated costs over time.

    A table listing user emails, specific AI models used, and the associated costs.
  • Data Delay: AI token usage and cost data may have a delay of up to 24 hours to reflect in the JumpCloud dashboard, as Cursor aggregates these events periodically.
  • Sync Time: Based on your org size, the initial collection of data may take some time, up to an hour.

Configuring Cursor

  1. Log in to Cursor and go to Team Settings.
  2. In the API Keys section, click Add.
  3. Enter a name for the key and ensure the Admin scope is selected.
