Claude 3.7 Hack Tool

A simple script to enhance Claude 3.7 in Cursor by:

1. Increasing token limit to 200,000 tokens
2. Setting thinking level to "high" for more detailed reasoning
3. Adding custom UI styling to distinguish the enhanced model

How It Works

The script uses precise string matching to find and modify specific functions:

• Token limit: Uses multiple patterns and fallbacks to find getEffectiveTokenLimit function
• Thinking level: Searches for getModeThinkingLevel(e)
• UI styling: Searches for _serializableTitle:()=>"claude-3.7-sonnet"}

This approach provides reliable matches across different Cursor versions, even when the code has been minified or slightly modified.

Usage

Basic Usage

python hack_claude.py

The script automatically finds Cursor's workbench file and applies the modifications.

Options

python hack_claude.py --token-mode all_models --ui-style red

Option	Values	Default	Description
--file, -f	file path	(auto-detect)	Path to workbench.desktop.main.js
--token-mode, -t	claude37_only, all_models	claude37_only	Apply token limit to which models
--ui-style, -u	gradient, red, animated	gradient	UI style for the hacked model
--skip-backup, -s	flag	False	Skip backup creation

Examples

Modify only Claude 3.7 with animated styling:

python hack_claude.py --ui-style animated

Apply the 200K limit to all models:

python hack_claude.py --token-mode all_models

Notes

• Creates backups before making changes
• Changes are lost when Cursor updates
• Client-side changes only - actual behavior still depends on Anthropic's API
• If you encounter issues, try using a backup file with --file path/to/backup.js
