Ungate is a Cursor extension that lets you use your Claude, ChatGPT, or MiniMax subscription in Cursor instead of paying for API tokens. It proxies requests through a Cloudflare tunnel, supports streaming, tool calls, and vision. Open-source, MIT.

If you're looking to avoid burning tokens, perhaps just learn to code.

Cursor is dead weight. The harness losses in outcomes to cli based coding harness.

This is a different world. Stop asking yourself "What tooling is available to me?" and start asking yourself "What tooling do I want, that I can describe to Claude?" Most of the interfaces I interact with recently are interfaces I designed.

tl;dr: Fuck Cursor. It's yesterdays vibecoded garbage.
