Gemini API Key verification fails in Models settings despite valid API key #2892

Issue Description

The Gemini API key verification in Cursor's Models settings shows "Invalid API Key" error, even though the API key is valid and working correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursor Settings
  2. Go to Models section
  3. Input a valid Gemini API key
  4. Click Verify
  5. Error shows "Invalid API Key"

Expected Behavior

The API key should be verified successfully as it is a valid and working key.

Actual Behavior

  • Settings UI shows "Invalid API Key" error
  • However, the same API key works correctly when used in:
    • Python code using google-generativeai SDK
    • Direct API calls using curl

Verification Evidence

The API key works correctly with:

  1. Python code:
import google.generativeai as genai
genai.configure(api_key='[API_KEY]')
model = genai.GenerativeModel(model_name='gemini-1.5-pro')
response = model.generate_content('Hello')
# Successfully returns response
  1. Curl command:
curl "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-1.5-pro?key=[API_KEY]"
# Successfully returns model information

Environment

  • OS: Windows 10 (10.0.19045)
  • Cursor Version: 0.47.8 (user setup)
  • Electron: 32.2.6
  • Node.js: 20.18.1
  • Commit: 82ef0f61c01d079d1b7e5ab04d88499d5af500e0
  • Shell: PowerShell 7

Additional Notes

The API endpoint used in Cursor's verification seems to be using "models/gemini" instead of the correct model name "gemini-1.5-pro", which might be causing the verification failure.

Note: I will also post this issue on forum.cursor.com for faster response.
