Anywhere in your terminal to check your Cursor AI usage! 🎉

Option 2: Local Development

   git clone [email protected]:g-guerzoni/cli-cursor-usage-tracker.git
   cd cli-cursor-usage-tracker

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Build the project:

   npm run build

Usage

Using the Global Command

If you installed the package globally, simply run:

cursor-usage

Available Options

• --clean: Remove all local configuration files and cached data

  cursor-usage --clean

  Use this if you want to reset the tool's configuration or start fresh.

Running Locally

If you're working with the local development version:

npm start

To clean local configuration files:

npm run clean

On first run, you'll be prompted to choose an authentication method:

1. Import from curl command (recommended) - Just paste the curl from your browser and the script will extract your credentials and browser headers for maximum compatibility
2. Enter token manually - Provide your Cursor session token (the user ID will be extracted automatically)

Finding Your Cursor Session Token

Here's a detailed guide to finding your Cursor session token:

Step 1: Access Cursor Settings

1. Log in to Cursor
2. Go to Settings by visiting: https://www.cursor.com/settings

Step 2: Open Browser Developer Tools

1. Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect" or press:
   • Chrome/Edge: F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Option+I (Mac)
   • Firefox: F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Option+I (Mac)
   • Safari: First enable Developer menu in Preferences > Advanced, then press Cmd+Option+I

Step 3: Navigate to Network Tab

1. Click the "Network" tab in the developer tools
2. You may need to refresh the page (F5 or Ctrl+R) to see network requests

Step 4: Find the Usage API Request

1. In the network requests list, look for a request to: https://www.cursor.com/api/usage?user=...
2. This request contains all the information you need

Method 1: Using the Full CURL Command (Recommended)

This is the easiest method as it automatically extracts everything needed:

1. Right-click on the usage API request in the Network tab
2. Select "Copy" > "Copy as cURL" (or similar, depending on your browser)

3. When running the script, select option 1 when prompted
4. Paste the entire curl command (Ctrl+V on Windows, Cmd+V on Mac)
5. Press Enter twice to complete the input
6. The script will automatically extract your session token and user ID from the curl command

Step 1:

Step 2:

Method 2: Finding Your Session Token

1. Click on the usage API request to see details
2. Go to the "Headers" tab
3. Scroll down to "Request Headers" and find "Cookie"
4. Look for WorkosCursorSessionToken= followed by a long string of characters
5. The whole string after WorkosCursorSessionToken= and before any semicolon is your token Example: WorkosCursorSessionToken=user_01JKEMPWF0E597XXQEPMBJ391%3A%3AeyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...

Note: The token already contains your user ID, so you don't need to extract it separately.

Demo Mode

The demo mode now showcases different usage levels with their corresponding color indicators:

npm run demo

This interactive demo shows:

• Low Usage (30%) - Blue color
• Medium Usage (65%) - Blue color
• High Usage (75%) - Yellow warning color
• Critical Usage (92%) - Red alert color
• Maximum Usage (100%) - Red alert color

Press Enter to cycle through each scenario and see how the display changes.

Running Tests

npm test

Data Storage

Your credentials and cached responses are stored locally in your home directory:

• ~/.cursor-usage-tracker/config.json - Contains your User ID and session token
• ~/.cursor-usage-tracker/last-response.json - Contains the most recent usage data

Color Coding System

The script uses color coding to help you visualize your usage status:

| Usage Level | Color | Meaning | |-------------|-------|---------| | 0% - 69% | Blue | Normal usage - You have plenty of requests available | | 70% - 89% | Yellow | Warning - You're using a significant portion of your allocation | | 90% - 100% | Red | Critical - You're close to or at your limit |

This makes it easy to quickly see your usage status at a glance.
