Is there NO fix for us Azure Open AI users since BYOK does not work Please fix

Hey @Larry_G , I see you’re hitting the same issue. This is a known bug: Cursor doesn’t pass the model parameter correctly in requests to the Azure API. I shared a workaround a bit above: a community proxy that adapts the request format for Azure: GitHub - gabrii/Cursor-Azure-GPT-5: A service that a…

Hey @deanrie what cursor needs to do is add the ‘api version’ as a field to the config, reason being is that not all deployment uses the same api version, so in effect since they are passing the version # as a one shop fits all it will never work.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t though, not sure why. I still cannot upload images to the chat, it then says “Unauthorized User Openai AP…

Also try adding a custom model with the same name as your deployment (likely the same name as the model)
