Configuring Command Code

Command Code

Use Command Code with AI Gateway for model access and spend monitoring. Command Code's bring your own key (BYOK) configuration, currently in beta, lets you set a custom provider endpoint and choose models.

Command Code requires manual configuration. The Vercel CLI setup command does not configure it.

  1. Install Command CodeWith Node.js 22 or later installed, run:

    npm i-gcommand-code@latest

    command-code --versionThe second command prints the installed version. See the Command Code installation instructions for platform-specific details.If you haven't signed in to Command Code, run:

    command-code loginComplete the sign-in in your browser, then return to the terminal after Command Code confirms the login.
  2. Create an API keyCreate an AI Gateway API key and export it in the terminal where you run Command Code:

    export AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY="your-ai-gateway-api-key"Replace your-ai-gateway-api-key with your key.
  3. Configure the providerCreate ~/.commandcode/providers.json with the following configuration. If the file exists, add the vercel entry to its provider object:

    {

    "provider": {

    "vercel": {

    "name":"Vercel AI Gateway",

    "baseURL":"https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/coding-agent/v1",

    "apiKey":"$AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY",

    "models": {

    "deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash": {}

    } } } }The baseURL uses the coding agent endpoint. Command Code uses OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions by default. Add an entry under models for each model you want to use, with its AI Gateway model ID.

  4. Start Command CodeStart a session in the same terminal:

    command-codeRun /model and select a model under Vercel AI Gateway. Requests for that model route through AI Gateway. Reopen /model after editing providers.json to load your changes.Send a prompt, then check AI Gateway logs to verify the request.
