Tool Integration Overview
Applicable roles: Developers, Organizations (top-level users), Sub-users Updated: 2026-07-15
This chapter explains how to connect to the platform's API from mainstream AI programming tools and Agent platforms, so you can use the models provided by the platform directly within your familiar development environment.
How It Works
The platform's API is compatible with both the OpenAI and Anthropic protocols. Most AI tools only require changing two settings to connect:
- Base URL -- Point requests to the platform's API address (replacing the default
api.openai.comorapi.anthropic.com) - API Key -- Enter the Key you created in the platform console (starting with
sk-)
Once configured, requests sent by the tool are automatically forwarded to the platform, which handles model routing and invocation.
What You Need to Prepare
Before configuring any tool, prepare the following information:
| Item | Description | Where to Get It |
|---|---|---|
| API Key | Key starting with sk- |
Created on the console "API Keys" page |
| Base URL | The platform's API address | View on the console "API Keys" page |
| Model Name | The model you want to call (e.g., claude-sonnet-4-6) |
View on the console "Usage Guide" or "Default Model Configuration" page |
Supported Tools Overview
AI Programming Tools (IDE / CLI)
| Tool | Type | Protocol | Can Connect | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | CLI Agent | Anthropic | Yes | Just change environment variables — the simplest |
| Cursor | IDE | OpenAI | Yes | Configure Base URL in Settings |
| Cline | VS Code plugin | OpenAI | Yes | Configure in the plugin settings panel |
| Windsurf | IDE | OpenAI | Partial | Native BYOK is Anthropic-only; connect via the Roo Code plugin |
| Codex CLI | CLI Agent | OpenAI | Yes | Change environment variables |
| Aider | CLI tool | OpenAI | Yes | Startup parameters or environment variables |
| Continue | VS Code/JetBrains plugin | OpenAI | Yes | Configure in config.json |
AI Agent / Workflow Platforms
| Tool | Type | Protocol | Can Connect | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dify | Agent platform | OpenAI | Yes | Configure in model provider settings |
| n8n | Workflow platform | OpenAI | Yes | Configure in the AI Agent node |
| Coze | Bot platform | OpenAI | Yes | Custom model configuration |
| LangChain / LiteLLM | Development framework | OpenAI | Yes | Set base_url in code |
AI Desktop Applications
| Tool | Protocol | Can Connect | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | Anthropic | Yes | Modify apiBaseUrl in the config file |
| ChatGPT Desktop | OpenAI | Yes | Configure in Settings |
Domestic AI Programming Tools
| Tool | Vendor | Can Connect | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qoder | Alibaba | No | BYOK only supports Coding Plans from Z.AI/Kimi/MiniMax/Alibaba Bailian, not custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints |
| Trae | ByteDance | No | Bound to its own model backend; no custom endpoints |
| CodeBuddy | Tencent | No | Bound to Tencent Cloud |
| Tongyi Lingma | Alibaba | No | Plugin form, uses its own Qwen backend |
| CodeGeeX | Zhipu | No | Uses its own GLM models |
Most domestic AI programming tools are currently bound to their own model backends and do not support connecting to third-party API platforms. If you use these tools, you can continue using their built-in models; when you need to call the platform's models, use the supported tools listed above.
General Notes
-
Base URL format: Different tools handle the trailing
/v1in the URL differently. Some require it (e.g.,https://your-domain.com/v1), while others do not. Each tool's documentation specifies this in detail. -
Model name must be accurate: The name entered in the
modelfield must exactly match what the platform actually provides. We recommend copying it directly from the console "Usage Guide" page to avoid errors from manual input. -
Protocol matching:
- For tools using the Anthropic protocol (Claude Code, Claude Desktop): Point the Base URL to the platform's Anthropic-compatible endpoint
- For tools using the OpenAI protocol (Cursor, Cline, etc.): Point the Base URL to the platform's OpenAI-compatible endpoint
-
Token consumption reminder: AI Agent tools (Claude Code, Cursor Agent, etc.) resend the accumulated context at every reasoning step, consuming 10 to 100 times more Tokens than ordinary chat for the same amount of work. We recommend testing with a small amount first and confirming your cost expectations before heavy use.
-
Security reminder: An API Key is equivalent to a password. Do not commit Keys to code repositories, paste them on public forums, or transmit them through insecure channels.
