Coding Agents
Coding Agents and Chat Platforms with AI Gateway
Route coding agents and chat platforms through AI Gateway to share model access, track spend, and configure provider fallbacks in one place.

The Vercel CLI is the recommended way to connect a coding agent. One command provisions or reuses an API key, writes each agent's configuration, and points every agent at the right gateway endpoint:
npx runs Vercel CLI without installing it globally. To keep vercel available as a global command, install or update the CLI before running setup:
npm i-gvercel@latest
Read the full documentation for the command.
vercel ai-gatewaysetup
The command detects the agents installed on your machine, shows you a diff of every planned change before it writes anything, and stores your key in the macOS Keychain instead of in plaintext config. It reuses an existing key when your configs already point at the gateway, and accepts a pasted key so you don't have to mint a new one. Model lists written into agent configs come from the AI Gateway leaderboards, so the defaults track what's actually being used. It also copies your existing Claude Desktop and Codex Desktop sessions so your history survives the provider switch.

Detection pre-selects the agents already installed on your machine, and
--all covers every agent in the table. To connect a subset, name each one with
--agent
Which base URL to use
Configuring an agent by hand means telling it where the gateway is. Unless the agent has an endpoint of its own, point it at the coding agent surface:
https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/coding-agent/v1
That URL passes straight through to the standard /v1 handlers, so auth, routing, billing, and errors are identical to the gateway's bare /v1 surface. Prefer it anyway because it marks the traffic as coming from a coding agent. Behavior shared across harnesses can also land there without requiring another config edit. For a client that speaks the Anthropic protocol and appends /v1/messages itself, drop the /v1 and use https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/coding-agent.
Three agents have a dedicated endpoint, because each needs something the generic surface doesn't do:
Endpoint
https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/claude-code
https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/codex/v1
https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/cursor/v1
See each agent's page for what its endpoint adds. Agents with a first-party AI Gateway provider, such as Cline, OpenCode, Pi, and omp, already know the URL and only need your API key.

With
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool for the terminal. The CLI connects it for you with --agent claude-code. To configure it by hand, use environment variables:
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/claude-code"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=""
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your-ai-gateway-api-key"
export CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY=1
Once configured, Claude Code works exactly as before, but requests route through the gateway. /claude-code is Claude Code's own compatibility endpoint, and the discovery variable puts every gateway model in its /model picker.
See the Claude Code documentation for the dedicated Claude Code compatibility endpoint, model discovery, and advanced configuration.
[model_providers.vercel]
model_provider ="vercel"
name ="Vercel AI Gateway"
env_key ="AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY"
OpenAI Codex is OpenAI's terminal-based coding agent. The CLI connects it for you with --agent codex. To configure it by hand, add the following to its configuration file:
wire_api ="responses"
codex
codex --modelopenai/gpt-5.5-pro
Then start Codex, optionally on a specific model:
base_url ="https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/codex/v1"
/codex/v1 is Codex's own compatibility endpoint, and wire_api = "responses" is required, since Codex no longer speaks Chat Completions.
Codex reads the gateway catalog from /codex/v1/models at startup, so /model inside a session lists every gateway model.
For full configuration options, including the dedicated Codex compatibility endpoint and profiles, see Configure OpenAI Codex.
Command Code supports manual setup with your own AI Gateway API key and a custom base URL. Add AI Gateway as a provider in ~/.commandcode/providers.json, using https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/coding-agent/v1 as the baseURL.
Run /model to select one of your configured models under Vercel AI Gateway.
See the Command Code documentation for the provider configuration and API key setup.
OpenCode is an open-source, terminal-based AI coding agent with native support. The CLI connects it for you with --agent opencode. You can also connect directly from within the tool:
opencode
> /connect
# Select "Vercel AI Gateway" and enter your API key
OpenCode automatically discovers available models and lets you switch between them on the fly.
See the OpenCode documentation for more features.
Blackbox AI is a terminal-based CLI for AI-powered code generation and debugging. Configure it with the interactive setup:
blackbox configure
# Select "Configure Providers", choose "Vercel AI Gateway", and enter your API key
See the Blackbox AI documentation for installation and setup.
Cline is a VS Code extension and CLI that provides autonomous coding assistance. The CLI connects it for you with --agent cline. To configure the extension by hand:
- Open the Cline settings panel
- Select Vercel AI Gateway as your API Provider
- Paste your API key
- Choose a model from the auto-populated catalog
Cline tracks detailed metrics including reasoning tokens, cache performance, and latency.
See the Cline documentation for troubleshooting tips.
Amp connects to AI Gateway through Amp's Model Routing settings. The integration is currently early access for Amp Megawatt and Gigawatt members and requires manual configuration.
See Configure Amp with AI Gateway for eligibility, setup, and model selection.
Aider is an open-source terminal pair-programming agent. The Vercel CLI configures its AI Gateway base URL, default model, model metadata, and API key environment variable.
See Configure Aider with AI Gateway for manual setup, model metadata, and model selection.
Cursor is an AI-first code editor. The Vercel CLI provisions an API key and prints the values you need to finish configuration in Cursor's account-synced settings.
See Configure Cursor with AI Gateway for the full setup and Cursor's BYOK limitations.
GitHub Copilot CLI is GitHub's terminal coding agent. Its BYOK mode uses environment variables, so the Vercel CLI can connect it without a config file or GitHub sign-in.
Harbor runs benchmarks such as Terminal-Bench with your choice of coding-agent harness. It supports built-in adapters, including Claude Code, Codex, fx, OpenCode, and Pi, as well as custom agents. Connect a harness to AI Gateway through its adapter's provider or compatible API settings. Configure Harbor with harbor run; Harbor does not have a vercel ai-gateway setup --agent value.
