This project provides a method for users in regions with payment restrictions to access Cursor IDE's VIP features, specifically targeting users who find official payment inconvenient. It enables shared access to a Pro account, offering the same functionality as the official version but with potential stability trade-offs due to shared resources.

How It Works

The project utilizes a proxy or normal mode to facilitate shared access to Cursor IDE's VIP features. It operates by routing requests through a shared Pro account, effectively allowing multiple users to benefit from premium functionalities. The stability of the proxy mode is noted as superior to the normal mode, with specific modes ranked for performance (mode 3 > mode 2 > mode 4).

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Via GitHub script (bash <(curl -Lk https://github.com/kingparks/cursor-vip/releases/download/latest/i.sh)), Gitee script (bash <(curl -Lk https://gitee.com/kingparks/cursor-vip/releases/download/latest/ic.sh)), or manual binary download from releases.
• Prerequisites: MacOS/Linux terminal or Windows Git Bash. Antivirus software may need to be disabled due to potential false positives. WSL is not supported.
• Usage: Execute cursor-vip after installation. Configuration can be managed via ~/.cursor-viprc.
• Supported Versions: Chat and composer normal features for Cursor version 0.46 and below.

Maintenance & Community

The project is maintained by kingparks. Further community or roadmap information is not detailed in the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

The licensing is not explicitly stated in the README. The project's nature as a workaround for payment restrictions may have implications for commercial use or compatibility with Cursor's official terms of service.

Limitations & Caveats

The project explicitly states that stability and speed are not as good as the official version due to shared resources. Only specific Cursor versions (0.46 and below) and features (chat, composer normal) are supported, with advanced models subject to queuing. The project is intended as a solution for payment inconvenience, not as a cheaper alternative.
