Cursor Usage Analysis

You have access to Cursor Enterprise API data through the cursor-usage MCP server. This skill teaches you how to interpret that data correctly — the API returns raw numbers, but understanding what they mean requires context that isn't in the docs.

Before You Start

1. Use the get_team_overview tool first to orient yourself — it gives you the big picture in one call.
2. For user-specific questions, use get_user_deep_dive with their email.
3. For time-range analysis, all analytics tools accept startDate and endDate.

Critical Data Interpretation Rules

Spending

• spendCents is the total spend including the subscription-included amount. To get overage (extra cost beyond the plan), subtract includedSpendCents.
• A user with spendCents: 5000 and includedSpendCents: 4000 has $10 in overage, not $50 in total extra cost.
• fastPremiumRequests counts requests to premium/expensive models (Opus, GPT-5, etc.) that consume the fast request quota faster.
• Spend limits (hardLimitOverrideDollars) only cap overage spend, not included spend. A limit of $0 means "no overage allowed," not "no usage allowed."
