Basic Example

{
  "providers": {
    "ollama": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:11434/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "llama-3.1-8b",
          "name": "Llama 3.1 8B (Local)",
          "contextWindow": 128000,
          "maxTokens": 32000
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

The file reloads each time you open /model. Edit during session; no restart needed.

Supported APIs

API	Description
openai-completions	OpenAI Chat Completions (most compatible)
openai-responses	OpenAI Responses API
anthropic-messages	Anthropic Messages API
google-generative-ai	Google Generative AI

Set api at provider level (default for all models) or model level (override per model).

Provider Configuration

Field	Description
baseUrl	API endpoint URL
api	API type (see above)
apiKey	API key (see value resolution below)
headers	Custom headers (see value resolution below)
authHeader	Set true to add Authorization: Bearer <apiKey> automatically
models	Array of model configurations

Value Resolution

The apiKey and headers fields support three formats:

• Shell command: "!command" executes and uses stdout

  "apiKey": "!security find-generic-password -ws 'anthropic'"
  "apiKey": "!op read 'op://vault/item/credential'"
  

• Environment variable: Uses the value of the named variable

  "apiKey": "MY_AINDUSAGI_KEY"
  

• Literal value: Used directly

  "apiKey": "sk-..."
  

Custom Headers

{
  "providers": {
    "custom-proxy": {
      "baseUrl": "https://proxy.example.com/v1",
      "apiKey": "MY_AINDUSAGI_KEY",
      "api": "anthropic-messages",
      "headers": {
        "x-portkey-api-key": "PORTKEY_AINDUSAGI_KEY",
        "x-secret": "!op read 'op://vault/item/secret'"
      },
      "models": [...]
    }
  }
}

Model Configuration

Field	Required	Description
id	Yes	Model identifier
name	No	Display name
api	No	Override provider's API for this model
contextWindow	No	Context window size in tokens
maxTokens	No	Maximum output tokens
reasoning	No	Supports extended thinking
input	No	Input types: ["text"] or ["text", "image"]
cost	No	{"input": 0, "output": 0, "cacheRead": 0, "cacheWrite": 0}

Overriding Built-in Providers

Route a built-in provider through a proxy without redefining models:

{
  "providers": {
    "anthropic": {
      "baseUrl": "https://my-proxy.example.com/v1"
    }
  }
}

All built-in Anthropic models remain available. Existing OAuth or API key auth continues to work.

To fully replace a built-in provider with custom models, include the models array:

{
  "providers": {
    "anthropic": {
      "baseUrl": "https://my-proxy.example.com/v1",
      "apiKey": "ANTHROPIC_AINDUSAGI_KEY",
      "api": "anthropic-messages",
      "models": [...]
    }
  }
}

OpenAI Compatibility

For providers with partial OpenAI compatibility, use the compat field:

{
  "providers": {
    "local-llm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "compat": {
        "supportsUsageInStreaming": false,
        "maxTokensField": "max_tokens"
      },
      "models": [...]
    }
  }
}

Field	Description
supportsStore	Provider supports store field
supportsDeveloperRole	Use developer vs system role
supportsReasoningEffort	Support for reasoning_effort parameter
supportsUsageInStreaming	Supports stream_options: { include_usage: true } (default: true)
maxTokensField	Use max_completion_tokens or max_tokens
openRouterRouting	OpenRouter routing config passed to OpenRouter for model/provider selection

Example:

{
  "providers": {
    "openrouter": {
      "baseUrl": "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
      "apiKey": "OPENROUTER_AINDUSAGI_KEY",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "openrouter/anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet",
          "name": "OpenRouter Claude 3.5 Sonnet",
          "compat": {
            "openRouterRouting": {
              "order": ["anthropic"],
              "fallbacks": ["openai"]
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
