Connecting Cursor to the Kimi Long-Context API

Who it's for

• Developers who need whole-codebase understanding and cross-file analysis in large repositories
• Those who want to keep the Cursor editing experience while leveraging an ultra-long context window
• Anyone who frequently processes large amounts of code context in a single pass

Prerequisites

• A registered Cursor account
• A Moonshot AI open platform account with an API Key
• Knowledge of the Kimi API model IDs

Key configuration

• Base URL: https://api.moonshot.cn/v1
• Model: moonshot-v1-128k (choose the 8k/32k/128k version based on your needs)
• Authentication: Bearer <API_KEY>

Setup steps

1. Open the OpenAI-compatible configuration entry in Cursor Settings.
2. Point the Base URL to the Moonshot AI API endpoint.
3. Enter your API Key and set the default model to moonshot-v1-128k.
4. Test cross-file Q&A and code comprehension on a medium-sized repository.

Troubleshooting

• If responses are slow, try a shorter-context version (moonshot-v1-32k) to reduce cost.
• If you hit token limit errors, check whether you are sending an overly large code context.
• If compatibility errors appear, confirm your Cursor version supports custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

Cost note

Because of its long context, the Kimi API costs slightly more per call than ordinary APIs. Use it primarily for large-codebase scenarios that need whole-codebase understanding, and pair it with another low-cost option for daily completion. Monthly costs typically run ¥80-150/month.
