Hey! Models disappearing is usually caused by one of two things:
-
Regional restrictions
Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), and Google (Gemini) have regional availability limits. Which region are you using Cursor from?
More details: Regions | Cursor Docs -
Custom model config issue
If you added custom models before, they can sometimes break the model list. A workaround is:
- Back up any important settings
- Delete this file:
~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/globalStorage/state.vscdb - Restart Cursor
Warning: this will reset your chat history.

Let me know which case applies and whether this fixes it.
I cant find button to add model, is it inavailable now ?
Add Model button shows up when you search for a model.
Steps:
- Open Cursor Settings > Models
- In the search field (where the model name is shown), enter the ID of the model you want
- If the model isn’t in the default list, you’ll see “No models available”
- A “+ Add Custom Model” button will appear below
- Click it, and the model will be added
Let me know if it worked.
