GitHub Copilot CLI

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.

export AILOOT_API_KEY="sk-..."
unset COPILOT_PROVIDER_TYPE
# OpenAI-compatible mode
export COPILOT_PROVIDER_BASE_URL=https://api.ailoot.ai/v1
export COPILOT_PROVIDER_API_KEY="$AILOOT_API_KEY"
export COPILOT_MODEL=gpt-6.1-sol

# Anthropic mode
export COPILOT_PROVIDER_TYPE=anthropic
export COPILOT_PROVIDER_BASE_URL=https://api.ailoot.ai
export COPILOT_PROVIDER_API_KEY="$AILOOT_API_KEY"
export COPILOT_MODEL=claude-sonnet-5-5

Example model: gpt-6.1-sol. Choose any other model from the catalog — check that it supports the format you need.

• 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.
• 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.
