Desktop tool and IDE setup
Cursor, Cherry Studio, and WorkBuddy can use the OpenAI-compatible API. The standard Base URL is https://api.51cowork.com/v1; see the table for each tool’s address format.
Set the endpoint, API Key, and model ID from /v1/models in the tool’s model settings. Check automatic path handling and keep Keys out of Git.
