IDE INTEGRATION GUIDE

Supercharge Cursor with
Newton’s Developer Gateway.

Hit your monthly Cursor rate limits or tired of paying for idle seats? Route Cursor through Newton’s to unlock pay-as-you-go Claude models, automatic prompt-caching discounts, and edge-fast first token responses.

Why Engineers Run Cursor on Newton’s

Save money and skip rate limits on intensive AI coding workflows.

01 · REAL CACHING

Up to 95% Off Cached Input

Cursor frequently re-sends your codebase context. Newton’s passes Anthropic’s prompt-cache pricing straight through — cached input tokens cost up to 95% less than fresh ones, and the saving shows on every receipt.

02 · UNLIMITED SCALE

No Monthly Usage Caps

Never get locked out mid-sprint. Pay only for exact token usage from a unified prepaid balance with zero recurring monthly lock-in.

03 · MULTI-MODEL AGILITY

Opus, Sonnet & Haiku

Switch between Claude Opus 5.5 for the hardest problems, Sonnet 5.5 for everyday coding, and Haiku 4.5 for fast edits — all on one key, with no separate API accounts to manage.

30-Second Setup in Cursor
