(Background) Agents with own APIs (including Bedrock) #155
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm currently unable to use my AWS Bedrock Claude endpoints for background agents, which creates two significant issues: (1) Background agents charge my credit card directly through Cursor's token-based pricing, making costs unpredictable and potentially expensive, and (2) I cannot leverage my existing AWS infrastructure and cost controls that I've already set up for Claude API usage through Bedrock.
Describe the feature you'd like
I would like background agents to use my Bedrock API endpoints (including Claude 4 models!) instead of Cursor's direct model access. This would allow background agents to:
- Use my existing Bedrock Claude models and configurations
- Route costs through my AWS billing rather than charging my credit card directly
- Maintain consistency with my current Bedrock integration setup
- Provide better cost predictability and control through AWS cost management tools
Additional context
All of this applies to normal "Agent" mode as well. AWS Bedrock endpoints only work in the "Ask" mode but not in the "Agent" mode in Cursor. However I can use agents with Claude Code using bedrock endpoints. So it is not an issue in AWS but something that can be changed in Cursor
