Cursor, Aider & IDE Harnesses

Any tool or IDE extension that supports custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints can connect directly to Interference.

1. Cursor AI

Cursor supports custom OpenAI-compatible API keys and custom model names:

Open Cursor Settings (Ctrl + , or Cmd + ,).
Navigate to Models > OpenAI API Key.
Toggle Override OpenAI Base URL.
Enter:
https://api.interference.dev/v1
Enter your Interference API Key:
sk_live_YOUR_ACTUAL_KEY_HERE
Under Model Names, add the models you wish to use (e.g. kimi-k2.7-code, glm-5.3-flash, qwen3.6-plus, deepseek-v4-flash).

2. Aider (Terminal AI Pair Programmer)

Aider connects using standard OpenAI environment variables:

# Set environment variables
export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://api.interference.dev/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk_live_YOUR_ACTUAL_KEY_HERE"

# Start pair programming with Kimi or Qwen
aider --model openai/kimi-k2.7-code

Or for fast and economical editing:

aider --model openai/glm-5.3-flash

3. Continue.dev (VS Code / JetBrains)

Add Interference to your ~/.continue/config.json:

{
  "models": [
    {
      "title": "Interference - Kimi K2.7 Code",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "kimi-k2.7-code",
      "apiBase": "https://api.interference.dev/v1",
      "apiKey": "sk_live_YOUR_ACTUAL_KEY_HERE"
    },
    {
      "title": "Interference - GLM 5.3 Flash",

      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "qwen3-coder",
      "apiBase": "https://api.interference.dev/v1",
      "apiKey": "sk_live_YOUR_ACTUAL_KEY_HERE"
    }
  ]
}
