How to set 1M context?

enable max mode in cursor

Max mode alone doesn't do it for DeepSeek. Cursor takes the context window from its own model catalog, not from the endpoint, and DeepSeek isn't in that catalog at 1M.

What works: select a catalog model that has a 1M window (e.g. GPT-5.6 Sol). The proxy already rewrites any non-deepseek-* model id to the model: fallback in config.yaml, so DeepSeek answers with the 1M budget Cursor granted. After the first run, a custom deepseek-flash model also gets 1M.

One catch: with a GPT-named model, Cursor sends type: "custom" tools that DeepSeek rejects with a 400. I've opened a PR for that (#53). Until it lands, my fork has the fix, a step-by-step guide and one-click launchers: https://github.com/davidyaaw/deepseek-cursor-proxy-1m
