How to use DeepSeek Code in Cursor — Updated February 2026

[Junior_Edinson_Matia (Junior Edinson Matías Bardales)]

Hello, I was researching how to use the DeepSeek API and found this:

First, you need the Cursor Pro plan ($20).
Then go to Settings → M

odels, disable the active models and set up DeepSeek-Coder via API.

In the OpenAI configuration section:

• In Base URL enter: https://api.deepseek.com/beta

• In API Key paste your DeepSeek API key.

Regards.
