What is the OpenAI Alternative MCP Server?
Connect your OpenAI account to any AI agent and take full control of your AI resources through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Model Discovery — List all available models (GPT-4, GPT-3.5, DALL-E, Whisper, Embeddings) with ownership and capability info
- File Management — Browse, manage and delete uploaded files used for fine-tuning and Assistants
- Fine-Tuning — Monitor fine-tuning jobs, check status (running, succeeded, failed) and cancel long-running jobs

How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your OpenAI API Key
- Start managing your AI resources from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more switching to the OpenAI dashboard to check fine-tune status or manage batch jobs. Your AI acts as a dedicated ML ops assistant.
Who is this for?
- ML Engineers — monitor fine-tuning jobs, track batch processing and manage model files without leaving your IDE
- DevOps — audit uploaded files, review batch statuses and clean up unused resources
- Product Teams — discover available models, inspect Assistant configurations and review resource usage
Built-in capabilities (13)
Partially completed requests may still be processed. Provide the batch ID. Cancel a running batch job
The job status will change to "cancelled". Provide the fine-tune job ID. This is useful if you uploaded the wrong training file or want to stop a long-running job. Cancel a running fine-tuning job
Requires the input file ID (containing JSONL requests) and the endpoint (e.g. "/v1/chat/completions"). Optionally set the completion window ("24h" default). Returns the batch with its ID for tracking. Create a new batch processing job
Provide the file ID from list_files. WARNING: this action is irreversible and will break any fine-tunes or assistants using this file. Delete an uploaded file from OpenAI
Provide the assistant ID. Get details for a specific OpenAI Assistant
Provide the batch ID. Get details for a specific batch job
Provide the fine-tune job ID. Get details for a specific fine-tuning job
g. "gpt-4o", "gpt-4o-mini", "text-embedding-3-small", "dall-e-3", "whisper-1"). Returns the model ID, owner organization, creation date and permission flags. Use this to verify a model exists and check its metadata before using it. Get details for a specific OpenAI model
Each Assistant shows its ID, name, instructions, model, tools (code interpreter, file search, function calling) and creation date. Use this to audit your Assistant configurations. List OpenAI Assistants
Batches allow you to process many API requests at once at a lower cost. Each batch shows its ID, status (validating, in_progress, finalizing, completed, failed, expired, cancelled), input/output file IDs and request counts. List batch processing jobs
Files are used for fine-tuning, Assistants API and batch processing. Each file shows its ID, filename, purpose (fine-tune, assistants, batch), size and status. Optionally filter by purpose. List files uploaded to OpenAI
Each job shows its ID, status (validating_files, queued, running, succeeded, failed, cancelled), base model, training file, created date and estimated finish time. Use this to monitor your fine-tuning pipeline. List fine-tuning jobs
5, DALL-E, Whisper, Embedding and fine-tuned models. Each model returns its ID, owned_by (organization), creation date and permissions. Use this to discover which models are available for your account and their capabilities. List all available OpenAI models
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns OpenAI Alternative into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from OpenAI Alternative and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 13 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How do I get my OpenAI API Key?
Log in to the OpenAI Platform, go to API Keys in the left sidebar, click Create new secret key, give it a name and copy the key immediately — it starts with sk-proj- and won't be shown again.
Can I monitor my fine-tuning jobs?
Yes! Use list_fine_tunes to see all fine-tuning jobs with their status (validating_files, queued, running, succeeded, failed, cancelled). Use get_fine_tune with a specific job ID for detailed info including training progress, estimated finish time and result model ID. You can also cancel running jobs with cancel_fine_tune.
Can I manage batch processing jobs?
Yes! Use list_batches to see all batch jobs, create_batch to submit new batches with an input file ID and endpoint, get_batch to check progress and cancel_batch to stop running jobs. Batches process requests asynchronously at a lower cost than individual API calls.
Can I list and inspect my Assistants?
Yes! Use list_assistants to see all configured Assistants with their models, tools (code interpreter, file search, function calling) and instructions. Use get_assistant with a specific assistant ID for full details including file IDs and metadata.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
