FAQ
Q: Cannot use Coding Plan models in Cursor?
A: If you see one of the following error messages:
The model xxx does not work with your current plan or api key.
Named models unavailable Free plans can only use Auto. Switch to Auto or upgrade plans to continue.
Due to Cursor's limitations, the free plan supports only Auto mode and does not allow custom models. To use Coding Plan models, upgrade to Cursor Pro or higher.
Q: Why do I receive the error "We're having trouble connecting to the model provider." or "Unauthorized User API key"?
A: Possible reasons:
The model you invoked does not exist. For supported models in each deployment mode, see Model list.
After you configure the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio base URL and API key, calls to models from other providers will fail. If you want to use models from other providers, reconfigure or disable the OpenAI API Key and Override OpenAI Base URL as needed.
The error might stem from Cursor software's incompatibility with certain models, rather than a configuration or model provider issue.
