wireshark would work for seeing the requests from the desktop app to Cursor’s servers (which make the actual LLM requests). But if you’re interested in what the actual requests to LLMs look like from Cursor’s servers you have to set something like this up. Plus, this lets us modify the request and A/B test variations!
Sorry, can you explain this a bit more? Either you're putting something between your desktop to the server (in which case Wireshark would work) or you're putting something between Cursor's infrastructure and their LLM provider, in which case, how?
we're doing the latter! Cursor lets you configure the OpenAI base URL so we were able to have Cursor call Ngrok -> Nginx (for auth) -> TensorZero -> LLMs. We explain in detail in the blog post.
Ah OK, I saw that, but I thought that was the desktop client hitting the endpoint, not the server. Thanks!
