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/responses, POST /v1/messages, then use that ID in the configuration. For agents, also check tool support and the features required by your client version.

"customModels": [
{
"model": "claude-sonnet-5-5",
"displayName": "Claude Sonnet 5.5 (Ailoot)",
"baseUrl": "https://api.ailoot.ai",
"apiKey": "${AILOOT_API_KEY}",
"provider": "anthropic",
"maxOutputTokens": 64000
},
{
"model": "gpt-6.1-sol",
"displayName": "GPT-6.1 Sol (Ailoot)",
"baseUrl": "https://api.ailoot.ai/v1",
"apiKey": "${AILOOT_API_KEY}",
"provider": "openai",

"baseUrl": "https://api.ailoot.ai/v1",
"apiKey": "${AILOOT_API_KEY}",
"provider": "generic-chat-completion-api",
"maxOutputTokens": 32000
}
]
}This configuration reads the key from the environment variable AILOOT_API_KEY. Set it before starting the application:
export AILOOT_API_KEY="sk-..." # add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrcsetx AILOOT_API_KEY "sk-..." # then restart the terminalExample model: claude-sonnet-5-5. Choose any other model from the catalog — check that it supports the format you need.
Good to know
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.aiwithout/v1. - Ask a short question. If you get an error, check the code and Request ID, then consult Errors and limits.
- 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.
