  How do I get my Cursor Admin API key?

  Go to the Cursor Dashboard → Settings → API Keys to create an admin API key. The key starts with crsr_ and must have the admin:* scope to access the Admin API. Copy the key and paste it into the API key field in the setup wizard. The key is sent as Basic Auth credentials (API key as the username, empty password) in every request to https://api.cursor.com.

• 02

  What API scope is required?

  The Admin API requires the admin:* scope on your API key. This scope grants access to team management, audit logs, usage data, spending controls, and team settings. Without the admin scope, API calls will return 401 Unauthorized. Generate your key from an admin account in the Cursor Dashboard.

• 03

  What are the rate limits?

  The Admin API has a rate limit of 20 requests per minute for most endpoints. The set_user_spend_limit endpoint has a higher limit of 250 requests per minute. If you exceed the rate limit, the API returns a 429 status code. The engine handles retries transparently where appropriate, but for bulk operations, consider spacing your requests.

• 04

  Can I manage team spending and set spend limits?

  Yes. Use get_spending_data to view per-member spending breakdowns including spendCents, overallSpendCents, fastPremiumRequests, and monthlyLimitDollars. Use set_user_spend_limit to set a monthly spend limit in dollars for any team member, or pass null to remove an existing limit. The spend limit endpoint has a higher rate limit of 250 requests per minute.

• 05

  Are audit logs available for security review?

  Yes. Use get_audit_logs to retrieve administrative audit events. You can filter by time range (startTime/endTime), event types (e.g. team_settings, member_management, billing), search text, and specific users. The response includes event types, timestamps, and descriptions of administrative actions. This is valuable for security reviews and compliance audits.

• 06

  Can I add and remove team members?

  You can remove team members using remove_team_member, which accepts either an email or a user ID. This is a destructive operation. the member loses access to the team immediately. To list current members and their roles, use list_team_members. Note that adding new members is typically done through the Cursor Dashboard invitation flow, not the Admin API.

• 07

  What usage data is returned?

  The get_daily_usage_data capability returns per-user daily metrics including lines added, lines deleted, tab completions, applies, accepts, rejects, and counts for composer, chat, and agent requests. The get_usage_events capability returns individual usage events with the model name, request kind, token usage, and the amount charged in cents. Together these provide a comprehensive view of how your team uses AI features.
