How can I use cursor with Qwen3-coder?

[machadogj_span]

I have installed Qwen3-coder with ollama, and exposed it via open ai compatible service in localhost.

But whatever I do, when I pick the model in the chat window it says that the model is not available either because my plan doesn’t support it, or I don’t have permissions.

Can this be done? Am I missing something?

Hey, Cursor doesn’t support Ollama. You can try setting up this model via OpenRouter.

Use Cursor with Open-source LLMs

You need to register on OpenRouter, then create your API key. After that, you need to add it in Cursor and override the base URL to this address: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1, and add the model name to the list of models. Yes, it will work in agent mode.
