How to connect Cursor

1

Get your API key from Cursor

Go to the Cursor Dashboard > Integrations page. Generate an API key for Windmill. You’ll need to be a Cursor team admin to access this page.
2

Open the Cursor integration in Windmill

In Windmill, navigate to Settings > Integrations, find Cursor, and click Connect.
3

Paste your API key and connect

Paste the API key from Cursor into the input field and click Connect. Windmill will validate the key and begin syncing analytics within the hour.
Cursor is an account-level integration — an admin connects it once and it covers your entire Cursor team. Individual users don’t need to connect separately.

​
Connected data

When connected, Windmill syncs team-level analytics from Cursor’s API. This is aggregate usage data — Windmill does not access any code, files, or conversation content. All stats are tracked per employee, per day.

​
Visibility and access

Cursor stats in Windmill follow the manager hierarchy visibility model:
  • Employees can see their own Cursor stats
  • Managers can see Cursor stats for their direct reports and anyone in their reporting chain
  • Admins can see Cursor stats for everyone in the organization
  • Peers cannot see each other’s Cursor stats
This means Cursor analytics are treated like other sensitive performance data in Windmill — visible to the people who need it for coaching and evaluation, but not exposed broadly.

​
Permissions

Windmill requests read-only access to Cursor’s analytics API.

​
User matching

Windmill matches Cursor users to employees using their email address. If a Cursor user’s email matches an employee’s email in Windmill, their stats are automatically attributed to that employee. If you notice stats that aren’t being attributed correctly, check that the email addresses in Cursor match the employee emails in Windmill.
