Cursor Enterprise: Model & Integration Management (Allowlists, BYO Keys, MCP)
Enterprise admins can allowlist or blocklist AI models at the provider and model level, block new models from appearing by default, configure bring-your-own API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure and AWS Bedrock, and manage which MCP servers members can use. Controls updated in May 2026 to support granular per-model configuration for speed and context-window size.

How do admins control which models are available?
From the Enterprise admin dashboard, admins set allow or blocklists at two levels: the provider (block all Anthropic models, for example) or an individual model configuration. A May 2026 update added the ability to filter by specific model attributes — speed tier and context window size — so admins can restrict to cheaper fast models or require high-context models for certain workloads.
- Block an entire provider to prevent all of its models from appearing in the model picker.
- Block specific model versions while leaving the rest of that provider available.
- Filter by speed or context window to enforce a cost or capability floor.
- Enable block new providers by default so newly released models don't appear until explicitly approved.
The 'block new providers or model versions by default' option is the right posture for regulated environments: every new model requires explicit admin approval before team members can access it.
Which models can Enterprise teams access?
Cursor provides frontier models from four providers on Enterprise plans: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini and xAI. The exact model list changes as providers release new versions; admins see the current set in the model management section and can approve or block each one.

BYO API keys route requests through your provider account at your contracted rates.
How does bring-your-own API key work?
Enterprise customers can supply their own API keys for supported providers. Requests using a BYO key route through the customer's provider account at that provider's published rates, plus Cursor's Token Rate for infrastructure. This is the standard pattern for:
- Organizations with existing enterprise agreements with a model provider.
- Teams that need specific rate limits or data residency guarantees from the provider.
- Finance teams that want AI costs to flow through a single provider invoice.
Bringing your own key does not remove Cursor's $0.25 per million token infrastructure fee on non-Auto agent requests. Budget for both lines in cost models.
How do admins manage MCP server access?
Enterprise admins can allowlist or blocklist MCPModel Context Protocol. A standard that lets an AI agent pull in context from outside the repo, like Jira tickets or internal docs. servers — the external integrations that give agents access to databases, APIs and internal tools. Admins configure this centrally so members get a consistent, reviewed set of integrations rather than each individual managing their own MCP list.

- 2Review the MCPModel Context Protocol. A standard that lets an AI agent pull in context from outside the repo, like Jira tickets or internal docs. servers team members have connected (or propose to connect).
- 3Add servers to the allowlist to make them available; add to the blocklist to prevent use.

What global agent settings can admins configure?
Beyond model and MCPModel Context Protocol. A standard that lets an AI agent pull in context from outside the repo, like Jira tickets or internal docs. controls, admins can set global agent run settings that apply across the team: default model for new agent chats, permission levels for agent actions (read-only vs write), and the repo allow/blocklist for Cloud AgentsAgents that run in a Cursor-managed virtual machine, check out the repo, do the work and open a pull request, then shut down, with no load on your laptop.. These settings establish a team-wide baseline that users can override within any bounds admins permit.
Frequently asked questions
Can team members add their own models outside the admin-approved list?
When the admin blocklist is active, models on the blocklist do not appear in the model picker for team members. Members with BYO personal API keys can still configure them unless the admin has also restricted that.
What is the difference between blocking a provider and blocking a specific model?
Blocking a provider removes all current and future models from that provider from the team's picker. Blocking a specific model leaves the rest of that provider available. Use provider-level blocks for compliance mandates; model-level blocks for cost or capability governance.
Does BYO API key mean Cursor never sees our prompts?
No. Cursor still routes the request and applies its agent infrastructure. BYO key changes how the model call is billed and which provider account it runs under — it does not create a direct connection that bypasses Cursor's servers.
Can we restrict which repos the team's Cloud Agents can access?
Yes. Admins configure the repository allowlist under integrations. Cloud Agents can only run against repos explicitly authorized through the team-level GitHub app installation.
