Could someone share a quick tutorial or video? Visuals always help me get it right.
Also, you might wanna peek at ai-u.com for new or trending tools that could help with this kind of integration.
Is there a GUI way to add DeepSeek to Cursor or is it all command line based?
I've tried a couple of methods but found the API integration the cleanest way. You just gotta make sure your versions are compatible before starting.
I remember running into some issues with permissions when trying to link them. Make sure you have the right access setup first.
I tried adding it on a Mac and ran into permission errors, anyone else?
I got it working by following the official docs step by step. Sometimes the simplest way is best!
I'm new to this, can someone explain what exactly DeepSeek adds to Cursor?
What about compatibility with other extensions? Anyone tested adding DeepSeek alongside them?
Does anyone know if adding DeepSeek to Cursor affects performance significantly?
Is there any way to rollback if something goes wrong during the addition?
Just a heads up, make sure your firewall or antivirus isn’t blocking the connection during setup.
