wtf is cursor-vip?

This repository provides a tool that lets users of the Cursor code editor access paid features without purchasing an individual subscription. Cursor is an AI-assisted code editor with a paid Pro tier that unlocks code suggestions and chat features. This tool works by pooling access across many users so that each person shares the cost, rather than each paying separately. The README notes that this arrangement is not cheaper in total, only in what each individual pays, and that the stability and speed are lower than using an official account. Installation is done through a shell script or by manually downloading a compiled binary file for your operating system (macOS, Linux, or Windows). The README advises disabling antivirus software before installing because some systems flag the installer as a false positive. Once installed, the tool runs in the background and makes the Cursor editor show a VIP account status, which unlocks the features that come with a paid plan. The tool has two operating modes: a normal mode and a proxy mode. There is a configuration file where users can set the language of the interface and switch between modes. The project also includes documentation on using custom AI models such as Gemini alongside the tool. The README includes a notice recommending that users in regions where official Cursor payment is available should support the official product if they are able to do so. The project is written in Go and is available for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
