# Cursor integration

Read more about Swarmia's other [AI coding tool integrations](/settings/integrations/ai-coding-tool-integrations.md) and [understanding the impact of AI tools](/guides/understand-the-impact-of-ai-tools.md).

## Enabling Cursor metrics

You need to have Cursor's Teams or Enterprise plan. Only team administrators can create and manage API keys. [Create a Cursor admin API key](https://cursor.com/docs/api#admin-api-ai-code-tracking-api) ([**cursor.com/dashboard/team-settings**](https://cursor.com/dashboard/team-settings) → **Advanced** → **Admin API Keys** → **Create New API Key**) and copy it to [Settings / AI assistants](https://app.swarmia.com/settings/ai-assistants) in Swarmia. We fetch 365 days of historical activity data upon connection.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why do you need an admin API key? Isn't that a bit excessive?

We build our integrations with the principle of least privilege, and we'd love to ask for fewer permissions, but the [Cursor admin API key](https://cursor.com/docs/api#admin-api-ai-code-tracking-api) requires an admin key. There's no support for separate permission scopes for different API endpoints.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.swarmia.com/settings/integrations/ai-coding-tool-integrations/cursor-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
