Guys this is the first time i'm going to use AI for agentic work, coding and hading things with MCPs, which model to start with

Not true.
At $20, i'm assuming you are getting the cheapest plan right?
Cursor gives you roughly give or take 700million tokens for the month. This includes your 3rd party API usage.
I said roughly because it depends on your model, the more expensive model, the slightly less you give. But its usually around the 700 million range.
Then it gives you roughly 130million tokens on Grok bot per week. So that's an extra ~500million tokens for GrokBot standalone. These 2 pools do not mix.

First month of usage, after you finish your standard ~700million tokens, they give you something called "Slow-Mode" AUTO. Which is just their regular auto but your on the "free queue", same model, same stuff, just it may take more than 10sec before your prompt gets to their servers to be processed. longer if during peak time.
Second month, they reduce or sometimes just outright disable that "Slow-Mode" AUTO. so once you reach 100% usage (~700million tokens) it will tell you to upgrade or u cannot use it.

BEFORE elon took over, that "slow-mode" was always there, even if u subbed for 2 years.
That's probably where you are reading the "unlimited" tokens and no limit

One thing I’d be careful with is treating that ~700M number as a fixed Cursor allowance. Their current docs describe Pro as separate monthly usage pools, and the model you pick changes how fast you burn them. Once the included usage is gone, the documented options are pay-as-you-go or upgrading. I’d just start on $20 and watch the Spending tab before planning around a token number
