Neovim plugin · OpenAI Chat, Anthropic Messages

| Format | Where to set it up |
| --- | --- |
| OpenAI Chat, Anthropic Messages | opts for yetone/avante.nvim in lazy.nvim: opts.providers.\<name\> with \_\_inherited\_from = 'openai' (a custom OpenAI-compatible provider), or override providers.claude.endpoint; the key comes from the variable specified in api\_key\_name (AVANTE\_\* names are supported). |

## [](https://ailoot.ai/docs/en/integrations/avante-nvim/#setup)Setup

Copy the configuration and replace `sk-...` with your key from the Ailoot Dashboard. Prefer storing the key in the environment variable `AILOOT_API_KEY`, if the application supports it.

Before starting, request GET /v1/models with your Ailoot key. Choose an exact model ID whose methods include POST /v1/chat/completions, POST /v1/messages, then use that ID in the configuration. For agents, also check tool support and the features required by your client version.

```lua
opts = {
  provider = "ailoot",
  providers = {
    ailoot = {
      __inherited_from = "openai",
      endpoint = "https://api.ailoot.ai/v1",
      api_key_name = "AILOOT_API_KEY",
      model = "claude-sonnet-5-5",
    },
    claude = {
      endpoint = "https://api.ailoot.ai",   -- Anthropic Messages, without /v1
      model = "claude-sonnet-5-5",
    },
  },
}
-- in the terminal: export AILOOT_API_KEY=sk-...
-- the claude provider reads AVANTE_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
```

Example model: `claude-sonnet-5-5`. Choose any other model from the [catalog](https://ailoot.ai/models/en/) — check that it supports the format you need.

## [](https://ailoot.ai/docs/en/integrations/avante-nvim/#notes)Good to know

In the plugin's wiki, the OpenAI-compatible URL ends with /v1 (the plugin appends /chat/completions). The built-in claude provider uses a URL such as https://api.anthropic.com, so use a URL without /v1 for Ailoot. Custom providers without \_\_inherited\_from require a full URL and their own response parsing functions.

## [](https://ailoot.ai/docs/en/integrations/avante-nvim/#check)Test

- For the OpenAI format, the URL is `https://api.ailoot.ai/v1` (or the full path if the application asks for a full URL).
- For the Anthropic format, the URL is `https://api.ailoot.ai` without `/v1`.
- Ask a short question. If you get an error, check the code and Request ID, then consult [Errors and limits](https://ailoot.ai/docs/en/errors/).
- 404 immediately after setup almost always means the URL is wrong: an extra or missing `/v1`.
- 402 — insufficient balance for the reserve. Agents reserve more than chat: [why](https://ailoot.ai/docs/en/billing/reserve/).
