Use Claude in Cursor through SeaLink

Pay in USD via Stripe, keep billing records, no separate Anthropic account needed.

What you'll build

A Cursor setup that calls Claude Sonnet 4.6 through SeaLink's OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Same UX as native Claude in Cursor, but billed via your SeaLink balance with Singapore billing.

1. Get a SeaLink API key

Sign up, verify your email, then copy your default key from the dashboard. The first $1 trial credit is on the house.

2. Configure Cursor

Open Cursor → Settings (Cmd/Ctrl + ,) → Models. Toggle 'Override OpenAI Base URL', paste the SeaLink endpoint, and add the SeaLink model IDs.

Cursor model settings
{
"openai_api_key": "<your-sealink-key>",
"openai_base_url": "https://api.sealink.asia/v1",
"custom_models": [
"claude-sonnet-4-6",
"claude-haiku-4-5"
]
}

3. Verify

Click 'Verify' in Cursor's settings. Then pick claude-sonnet-4-6 in the chat panel and ask it to refactor a function. Tokens will show up in your SeaLink dashboard within seconds.

4. (Optional) Set a budget cap on this key

Cursor can be expensive when used heavily. Set a $50 monthly cap on the API key so a runaway autocomplete loop can't drain your balance.
