Full guide
| Format | Where to set it up |
|---|---|
| OpenAI Chat, Anthropic Messages | goose configure → Custom Providers → Add A Custom Provider, or JSON in ~/.config/goose/custom_providers/ (Windows: %APPDATA%\Block\goose\config\custom_providers\); alternatively, use the built-in OpenAI provider with OPENAI_HOST/OPENAI_BASE_PATH |
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.

# alternative using the built-in OpenAI provider:
export GOOSE_PROVIDER=openai
export OPENAI_HOST=https://api.ailoot.ai
export OPENAI_BASE_PATH=v1/chat/completions
export OPENAI_API_KEY="$AILOOT_API_KEY"Example 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 custom base_url or the built-in OPENAI_HOST and OPENAI_BASE_PATH settings, use the corresponding configuration example above. The prefix for OpenAI API methods 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— the API origin. The example above does not show the full setup for this format; consult the client’s documentation for the path to use in the relevant field. The API route prefix is/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.
