Summary and recommendation
Cursor supports native SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but only on Enterprise with SSO enabled—a plan that requires custom pricing through sales. This creates a significant barrier for mid-sized engineering teams who need automated provisioning but don't want to commit to enterprise-level contracts. The Teams plan ($40/user/month) lacks both SSO and SCIM, leaving a gap between affordable team licensing and enterprise-grade identity management.
For growing engineering organizations adopting AI coding tools, this gap is particularly problematic. Developers need immediate access when they join, and departed engineers must lose access to code-adjacent AI tools quickly for security reasons. Without SCIM, IT teams resort to manual provisioning processes that don't scale with rapid engineering hiring—a common pattern as companies expand their AI coding capabilities.
The strategic alternative
Stitchflow provides SCIM-level provisioning through resilient browser automation for Cursor without requiring Enterprise licensing or sales negotiations. Works with Teams plans and any identity provider. Flat pricing under $5K/year, regardless of team size.

The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Cursor accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Cursor pricing problem
Cursor gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.
Plan Structure
| Plan | Price | SSO | SCIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $20/user/month | ||
| Pro Plus | $60/user/month | ||
| Ultra | $200/user/month | ||
| Teams | $40/user/month | ||
| Enterprise | Custom pricing |
Note: Enterprise is the only plan that includes both SSO and SCIM provisioning. All other tiers require manual user management regardless of price point.
What this means in practice
With no published Enterprise pricing, organizations face a complete pricing black box:

Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Cursor supports SCIM but only at Enterprise tier (Custom pricing)
- Google Workspace users get JIT provisioning only, not full SCIM
- Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually
What the upgrade actually includes
Cursor doesn't sell SCIM à la carte. It's bundled with Enterprise features that require custom pricing:
The jump from Teams ($40/user/month) to Enterprise (custom pricing) is significant, especially since Cursor requires SSO to be enabled before SCIM works. If you just need automated user provisioning for your engineering team, you're paying enterprise rates for features like pooled usage and audit logs that many development teams don't need.
Stitchflow Insight
We estimate ~60% of Enterprise features are overkill for teams that simply want to automate onboarding and offboarding for their AI coding tool.
What IT admins are saying
Community sentiment around Cursor's SCIM availability is mixed, with frustration centered on the Enterprise-only requirement and opaque pricing. Common complaints:
- Enterprise features locked behind custom pricing with no transparent costs
- Teams plan ($40/user/month) lacks both SSO and SCIM despite being positioned for larger groups
- No clear upgrade path from Teams to Enterprise for organizations that hit SCIM needs
- Having to contact sales just to understand if Enterprise pricing fits the budget
We're at 50+ engineers using Cursor but stuck on Teams plan because we can't even get Enterprise pricing without a sales call. Just want SCIM working.
The gap between Teams and Enterprise is huge - you pay $40/user for Teams but still can't get basic provisioning. Then Enterprise is 'contact us' which usually means much higher.
The recurring theme
Cursor's rapid adoption in engineering teams creates urgency for SCIM, but the Enterprise-only availability with opaque pricing creates procurement friction exactly when IT needs to move fast.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| On Pro/Teams, need SCIM | Use Stitchflow: avoid Enterprise's custom pricing negotiations |
| Already on Enterprise with SCIM | Use native SCIM: you're paying for it |
| Need Enterprise features beyond SCIM | Evaluate Enterprise: SCIM comes bundled with SSO and audit logs |
| Engineering team with rapid hiring | Use Stitchflow: immediate access for new developers is critical |
| Small dev team, stable headcount | Manual may work: but watch for security gaps with AI coding tools |
The bottom line
Cursor locks SCIM behind Enterprise's custom pricing wall, forcing teams into lengthy sales cycles just for basic provisioning automation. For engineering teams that need immediate onboarding for new developers without Enterprise overhead, Stitchflow delivers managed SCIM at predictable flat-rate pricing.
Automate Cursor without the tier upgrade
Stitchflow delivers SCIM-level provisioning through resilient browser automation, backed by 24/7 human in the loop for Cursor at <$5K/year, flat, regardless of team size.
