Use Claude Code via QCode.cc
QCode.cc provides stable Claude Code API access with Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 models, pay-per-use without subscription.
QCode.cc is an API relay service for Claude Code and Codex, and does not support Cursor. Cursor currently does not allow configuring third-party API endpoints. For AI coding, we recommend Claude Code (fully supported by QCode.cc).
