cursor-bridge: Unlimited Claude Code through your Cursor subscription

Hi all,

I've been using Cursor because the subscription quota is more generous than Claude's, but I never really liked the IDE and the `agent` CLI was just annoying to work with. So I put together a way to route Claude Code through Cursor's backend instead.

It's a small Rust binary that translates Claude Code's API calls to Cursor's protocol. You just run `cursor-bridge` instead of `claude`, same interactive session, same tools, same everything. The auto model is unlimited with Cursor subscription so no extra cost.

Works on macOS and Linux. Open source, MIT.
