Client-side tweaks for Claude 3.7 in Cursor IDE
Top 83.6% on sourcepulse
This repository provides client-side modifications for the Cursor IDE to enhance the Claude 3.7 AI assistant. It targets Cursor users who want to increase Claude's context window, force its thinking level to "high," and customize its UI appearance without altering Anthropic's API.
How It Works
The project modifies specific JavaScript functions within Cursor's application files (workbench.desktop.main.js
). It targets getEffectiveTokenLimit
to increase the context window to 200,000 tokens, getModeThinkingLevel
to ensure "high" level reasoning, and UI styling objects to customize model titles and subtitles. This approach leverages direct code manipulation within the client application.
Quick Start & Requirements
workbench.desktop.main.js
or use of provided Python script (cursor_claude_modifier.py
) or batch files (run_modifier.bat
, run_modifier.sh
).Highlighted Details

Limitations & Caveats
Cursor updates will likely overwrite these client-side modifications, requiring reapplication. Some UI styling effects may not render consistently across different themes or Cursor versions. Increased thinking level may lead to higher token consumption.
