i would like to know if there are any workaround to spin up agents with my bring ur keys models from azure or aws? or even at least, watching agents that use BYOK models, started from my laptop. i couldn’t find any ways to see this.
Hey, thanks for the request. Right now this works as intended: with BYOK, your Azure or AWS key lives only in the desktop app. It gets attached to each request from your machine and is never stored on our servers. Cloud Agents, which is what mobile and web run, work headless on our infrastructure and keep calling the model even after your laptop goes offline. There’s no client there to inject your key. That’s why BYOK models aren’t available on mobile or web.
For the second part: agents you run locally in your IDE, including BYOK, stay on your machine and don’t sync to web or mobile, so you can’t monitor them from there right now.
If your goal is to run agents on your laptop and monitor them from your phone, take a look at Remote Control in the agent settings in the desktop app. Web and mobile will be able to start and watch agents running on your machine. They’ll use models from the Cursor catalog though, not your own keys.
There’s an open feature request for BYOK in Cloud Agents. You can upvote it here: Support for BYOK in Cloud Agents
