# Cursor API Integration on Truto



**Category:** Application Development  
**Status:** Beta

## Unified APIs

### Unified Usage Metering API

- **Usage** — Per-period usage record. Grain is (product, period) by default and (user, product, period) for AI tools and per-user-pivoted vendors. All metric sub-objects are optional; emitters populate only what they know.
- **Users** — Members / seats inside the source application (team, workspace, organization).

## How it works

1. **Link your customer's Cursor account.** Use Truto's frontend SDK; we handle every OAuth and API key flow so you don't need to create the OAuth app.
2. **Authentication is automatic.** Truto refreshes tokens, stores credentials securely, and injects them into every API request.
3. **Call Truto's API to reach Cursor.** The Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Cursor API.
4. **Get a unified response format.** Every response uses a single shape, with cursor-based pagination and data in the `result` field.

## Use cases

- **Quantify AI Coding ROI for Engineering Leaders** — Engineering intelligence platforms can ingest Cursor seat utilization and token consumption to show leaders which teams are actually adopting AI and the measurable return on their Cursor enterprise licenses.
- **Chargeback and FinOps for AI Developer Tools** — FinOps platforms can attribute Cursor token spend and active seats back to specific cost centers, teams, or projects so finance teams can allocate AI tooling costs accurately.
- **Developer Productivity Benchmarking** — Workforce analytics tools can correlate Cursor usage metrics with other engineering signals to benchmark AI-assisted output across teams, helping leaders identify training gaps and power users.
- **License Optimization for Enterprise IT** — IT and procurement SaaS can pull Cursor user directories and seat-level activity to flag inactive licenses, right-size contracts, and automate provisioning workflows for AI tooling.
- **Compliance Reporting for AI Usage** — Governance platforms can surface aggregated Cursor usage and user data to satisfy internal AI policy audits, showing who is using which models and at what volume across the organization.

## What you can build

- **Cursor Seat Utilization Dashboard** — Show end-customers a live view of active vs. provisioned Cursor seats across their workspace so admins can reclaim unused licenses.
- **Token Consumption Reports by User** — Break down Cursor token usage per developer and per model so engineering leaders can understand where AI spend is concentrated.
- **AI Adoption Scorecards** — Generate per-team scorecards combining Cursor usage frequency and seat activity to highlight high-adoption and low-adoption groups.
- **Automated User Provisioning Audits** — Sync the Cursor user directory into your product to detect orphaned accounts, role mismatches, or offboarded employees still holding seats.
- **Cost Allocation by Team or Cost Center** — Map Cursor users to internal org structures and roll up usage metrics into chargeback reports for finance teams.
- **Usage Anomaly Alerts** — Trigger notifications when a user's Cursor token consumption spikes beyond expected thresholds, flagging runaway agent runs or misconfigured workflows.

## FAQs

### What Cursor data can I access through Truto today?

Cursor is mapped to Truto's Unified Usage Metering API, which exposes Users (workspace members and roles) and Usage (consumption metrics like token usage and seat activity). Additional resources can be built on request.

### How do end users authenticate their Cursor workspace?

Cursor admin API access is workspace-scoped and authenticated via API key. Truto handles secure credential storage, rotation, and per-tenant isolation so your end users connect once and your product accesses their data through a unified token.

### How fresh is the usage data?

Truto supports both scheduled syncs and on-demand pulls. For Cursor, usage and user data is typically retrieved on a polling cadence you configure, with the option to trigger immediate refreshes when an end user opens your dashboard.

### Can I filter usage data by user, team, or time range?

Yes. Truto's Unified Usage Metering API supports standard filters and pagination, so you can scope queries by user, period, or other supported dimensions without writing Cursor-specific query logic.

### Are Cursor-specific fields preserved or normalized away?

Truto normalizes common fields into the unified schema for portability across providers, and exposes Cursor-specific attributes via passthrough fields so you can surface native data when needed.

### What if I need a Cursor capability that isn't live yet, like Cloud Agents or conversation logs?

Truto builds new tools and endpoints on request. If your use case requires Cloud Agents orchestration, agent conversation history, or other Cursor APIs, reach out and we'll add it to the unified model.
