# Connect Cursor to the Claude API

Configure Cursor's Anthropic provider with the apiToken.sale base URL, API key, and a supported Claude model in three steps.

## Steps

1. Create a key at https://apitoken.sale/register — it looks like `sk-pool-…` and works across every Claude model.
2. Point Cursor at the gateway: set the Anthropic base URL to `https://api.apitoken.sale` and paste your key.
3. Pick a Claude model (e.g. `claude-opus-4-8`) and start — billing is per token at your discount.

## Configuration

```
Cursor Settings → Models → enable "Override Anthropic Base URL"
Base URL: https://api.apitoken.sale
API key:  sk-pool-…   ·   Model: any Claude model (e.g. claude-opus-4-8)
```
