### Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

### Describe the request

Hello Cursor team,  
We route all LLM traffic through an internal gateway (AWS Bedrock) for security, compliance, and cost control.  
Currently Cursor only supports “Override OpenAI Base URL”.  
There’s no equivalent for Anthropic.

The problem:

When we use Anthropic models in Cursor, requests go directly to [api.anthropic.com](http://api.anthropic.com). We have no way to override it so that the requests get routed to our infrastructure.  
Anthropic thinking is disabled through OpenAI endpoints. It looks like Cursor IDE only renders thinking blocks from native Anthropic responses.

Request:

Add an “Override Anthropic Base URL” setting that redirects /v1/messages requests to a custom endpoint, the same way the OpenAI override works for /v1/chat/completions.

Benefits:

- Enterprise compliance: all traffic routes through internal infrastructure, fully auditable
- Cost control: use AWS Bedrock committed throughput pricing
- Security: no direct calls to third-party APIs, all traffic stays within corporate network boundary

Is it a feature already on your roadmap?  
Also, can you confirm whether traffic flows through Cursor infrastructure before reaching the overridden OpenAI URL?

Thanks

### Operating System (if it applies)

Hey @Pierre_Raffa!

[Using AWS Bedrock is already possible](https://cursor.com/docs/customizing/aws-bedrock), have you tried it?

That’s correct.
