Why can’t we use the claude-opus-4-5 model on Azure just by adding the API?

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known limitation with Azure Anthropic models (including claude-opus-4-5).

Cursor’s Azure integration currently only supports the Azure OpenAI API format, but Anthropic models in Azure AI Foundry use a different API format. This affects all Anthropic Claude models on Azure, not just Opus 4.5.

The team is already tracking this issue in their backlog: Azure Claude 4.5 Sonnet Error

We’ll update the community when Azure Anthropic support becomes available. Let me know if you have any other questions!
