What This Does

You manage a Cursor Enterprise team. You want to know who's spending what, which models are being used, and whether you're getting value from AI. Instead of logging into a dashboard, you ask your AI agent:

"How much did my team spend this week?"

"Who's using the most expensive models?"

"Give me a full usage report for the current billing cycle."

This MCP server plugin wraps the full Cursor Enterprise Admin and Analytics APIs, giving your agent the tools and knowledge to answer those questions directly. Works with Cursor, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible client.

Part of the cursor-usage-tracker ecosystem. This plugin handles quick questions in the IDE. The tracker is the full open-source dashboard with charts, three-layer anomaly detection, Slack/email alerts, and incident lifecycle tracking. Use them together or separately.

What's Included

Install

Cursor (Marketplace)

/add-plugin cursor-usage

Then set your API key in Cursor settings:

• Open Settings → MCP

• Find cursor-usage and set CURSOR_API_KEY to your Cursor Enterprise Admin API key

Claude Code

/plugin install cursor-usage

Manual (any MCP-compatible client)

Add to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cursor-usage": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cursor-usage-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CURSOR_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

As a Skill Only (no MCP server)

Copy the skills/ directory into your project's .cursor/skills/ or .claude/skills/ folder. The skills work standalone as reference material even without the MCP server.

Getting Your API Key

1. Go to your Cursor team settings (Settings → Team → API Keys)

2. Generate an Admin API key

3. For analytics endpoints, you may also need an Analytics API key

The API key gives read access to your team's usage data. The only write operation is set_spend_limit.

Available Tools

Example Conversations

Quick spend check:

You: "How much has my team spent this billing cycle?" Agent: calls get_team_overview → "Your team of 47 active members has spent $3,842 this cycle. Top spender is Alice at $412, followed by Bob at $287..."

User investigation:

You: "Why is Bob's spend so high?" Agent: calls get_user_deep_dive → "Bob has made 847 requests this week, 73% using claude-opus-4.5. His daily average is $41 vs the team median of $12. Switching his chat requests to Sonnet would save approximately $180/month..."

Model audit:

You: "/model-audit" Agent: calls get_model_usage + get_spending + get_agent_edits → "62% of your team's messages use Sonnet (good). However, 5 users account for 78% of all Opus usage. Their acceptance rate on Opus is 44% vs 51% on Sonnet, suggesting Opus isn't providing measurably better results for most of their tasks..."
