Cursor CLI support with proxy

Support Help

how can I achieve setting the http proxy with cursor cli, exporting the https_proxy and http_proxy variables doesn’t seem to help

Hey, there’s no official info about proxy support in the CLI, but you can try a workaround using the system proxy.

Try setting up the proxy in your OS settings (System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies on macOS, or Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy on Windows). The CLI might pick up the system proxy automatically.

If that doesn’t help, please share:

  • CLI version (run agent --version)
  • OS and version
  • What proxy you’re using (corporate or local, HTTP or SOCKS)
  • The environment variables you’re exporting (paste the full command)

It seems that it does’t work.

http proxy

another question
why do I have some models that can use in cli

auto
composer-1
Grok

But I have more models in Cursor (that editor)

auto
composer-1
Grok
Sonnet4.5
GPT
....

I set the http proxy for the Cursor by user settings.

So why not support the http proxy for Cursor cli?
