Built a Chrome extension for your Cursor Usage

Showcase
1

Hey everyone! Not sure if many people are like me, but I’m always looking for ways to avoid getting over the 500 limit, so I wanted to keep track of my usage, and decided to build a chrome extension to monitor my Cursor usage.

We’re all using Cursor AI for coding assistance, but some models have different consumption usage (thinking of Haiku especially) and it can be hard to keep track on how much we’re actually using when we want to stay within certain limits.

While building the extension, I also made a Telegram bot to access my Cursor usage from anywhere. Initially the extension was just to get the cookie token for the Telegram bot, but turned out having both is a quite nice combination.

The Chrome extension is a bit more visual, while the Telegram bot is more text-based.

Enjoy, and feel free to share any feedback :slight_smile:

very useful thank you, I skimmed through the codebase of the extension and nothing nefarious was found thankfully. I’m always hesitant installing random browser extensions. I typically export most extensions and load them unpacked to avoid updates. grabs tin foil hat

Totally understand your fear, and even though I have no reason to add anything nefarious, I am glad to have your “stamp of approval” :folded_hands:

I didn’t have plans to officially open source it, but message me (info on my website or on X/Twitter @hugohamelcom), I’m happy to discuss how you’d like to collaborate :slight_smile:

How Do I Get Your Extender? Thank you

very helpful mate :100: Thanks for building this. Ideally, Cursor should have this feature inbuilt in the editor.

can you add in cost tracking? how much spent perday, per hour, per month? I think it would be useful to show this and how many calls ect. We’d be able to easily track what is costing us the most like premium-tool-call, models ect

11

Do you mean cost tracking regarding usage-based requests or in general (even premium requests)?

Right now we can see which tool call, model, hour of the day, day of the week and month of the year has the most request (in the detailed usage statistics). I am assuming you would want to be able to see the average for each of these (and maybe even have the estimated cost for these) instead of the total of request, is that correct?

Or you would need another section where it is all about cost analysis breaking down this month, and previous month, etc?

12

I use a vscode extension that tracks cost, which I found in this forum but having it also in your browser extension would be awesome.

I think seeing estimated cost would be beneficial. but also breaking down further for a more data is always a plus too!

Got it! I’ll check out the Cursor Stats VS Code extension, and see what I can add in the extension.

Hi!
have you tried the VScode plugin? does the exact thing inside vscode :slight_smile:

15

yeap I use that all the time and love it!
