Facing Trouble in adding/using AWS Bedrock in cursor

Bug Reports
1

Describe the Bug

When I first add my AWS Access Key and Secret Key in Cursor’s AWS Bedrock integration settings, I select the APAC region (ap-south-1) and set the Test Model to an APAC (cross-region inference) model, which initially works. However, after saving and closing the settings, if I reopen the settings panel, Cursor automatically switches and replaces my test model with a US region model. Even when I manually add or re-select my APAC (cross-region inference) model and try to use it, Cursor fails to invoke the model.
I have all relevant models (APAC and US) enabled and available in my AWS Bedrock account for both regions.
Despite this, neither the US region model nor the APAC model functions, and I encounter errors whether using direct APAC cross-region inference models or US region models. Cursor fails to persist my region/model selection and does not allow seamless use of cross-region inference models. (NOTE: I am On Cursor Free Plan)

Steps to Reproduce

1 - Enter valid AWS Access Key and Secret Key.
2 - Set region to ap-south-1 (APAC).
3 - Set a valid APAC cross-region inference model as the test model.
4 - Save settings.
5 - Close and reopen the settings panel.
6 - Observe that the region has shifted back to us-east-1 and the test model to a US region model.
7 - If the APAC model is re-entered, attempts to use it fail even though all model permissions are correct.
8 - Neither the us or apac models are working & i am getting error & i cant use it.

Hey did anyone got solution?

Hey, it looks like your AWS Bedrock API key didn’t pass verification. Make sure you’re using the correct credentials, because this error indicates that the connection didn’t happen and you’re trying to use a model that doesn’t exist.

I have tried everything my connection, API key & the models Access of both the regions available, I tried everything but still its didn’t worked, & Also i have one question did using API did i need to be on paid plan? OR It will work on free plan?

5

Let me clarify this issue with the team. Are you currently on a free plan?

6

Yes

7

It seems that this doesn’t work on the free plan. You need a subscription to be able to use your API key.

1 - Hey This isn’t Unfair? I know Cursor Have to Generate Revenue but at least let someone use your platform if they have own APIs Keys

2 - And Also One more thing why you removed India region from your students plans??

I Hope You get it my problem as a Student i don’t have $20 for every month , I need to use it for my MVP, Cursor is a superb tool i love it, but due to this issues i cant even use it even i have AWS Credits😔
