Mode: OpenAI-compatible & Anthropic

VS Code

The popular AI extensions in VS Code — Cline, Roo Code, Continue.dev, Kilo Code — all support custom providers. Just pick the provider type, enter Nexotao’s base URL, and paste your sk-nexo-... API key.

Remember the two modes:

OpenAI Compatible → base URL https://api.nexotao.com/v1, models gpt-5-mini, grok-4.3, DeepSeek-V4-Pro, DeepSeek-V4-Flash.
Anthropic → base URL https://api.nexotao.com, models claude-opus-4-8, claude-sonnet-4-6, etc.

Cline

Install the Cline extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
Open the Cline panel → ⚙️ Settings icon.
For OpenAI-compat models:
- API Provider → OpenAI Compatible
- Base URL → https://api.nexotao.com/v1
- API Key → sk-nexo-...
- Model ID → e.g. gpt-5-mini
For Claude models:
- API Provider → Anthropic
- Check Use custom base URL → https://api.nexotao.com (no /v1)
- API Key → sk-nexo-...
- Model → e.g. claude-opus-4-8

⚠️

Do not set the OpenAI Compatible Base URL to https://api.openai.com/v1 — that’s the separate “OpenAI” provider, and your requests will never reach Nexotao.

Roo Code

Roo Code is a Cline fork; the steps are similar.

Install the Roo Code extension.
Roo Code panel → gear icon → API Provider.
OpenAI Compatible: Base URL https://api.nexotao.com/v1, API Key sk-nexo-..., Model e.g. gpt-5-mini.
Anthropic: enable Use custom base URL → https://api.nexotao.com, API Key sk-nexo-..., Model claude-opus-4-8.

Roo Code uses native tool calling on the OpenAI Compatible path. The chosen model must support function/tool calling — gpt-5-mini and the other Nexotao models do.

Continue.dev

Continue is configured via ~/.continue/config.yaml.

# ~/.continue/config.yaml
models:
  - name: GPT-5 Mini (Nexotao)
    provider: openai
    model: gpt-5-mini
    apiBase: https://api.nexotao.com/v1
    apiKey: sk-nexo-...
 
  - name: Claude Opus 4.8 (Nexotao)
    provider: anthropic
    model: claude-opus-4-8
    apiBase: https://api.nexotao.com
    apiKey: sk-nexo-...

provider: openai → apiBase includes /v1.
provider: anthropic → apiBase without /v1.
The legacy config.json still parses but is deprecated — write config.yaml.

Kilo Code

Install the Kilo Code extension.
Kilo panel → Settings (gear) → Providers tab → Custom provider.
Fill the dialog:
- Provider ID → nexotao
- Provider API → OpenAI Compatible (for gpt/grok/deepseek) or Anthropic Messages (for Claude)
- Base URL → https://api.nexotao.com/v1 (OpenAI-compat) or https://api.nexotao.com (Anthropic)
- API key → sk-nexo-...
- Models → Kilo can auto-fetch from /v1/models, or enter IDs manually.

To use Claude and gpt/deepseek at once, create two custom providers — one OpenAI Compatible, one Anthropic Messages.

GitHub Copilot / others

Tools without a custom-provider field (e.g. stock GitHub Copilot) can’t be pointed at Nexotao yet. For those, see Any other tool (universal) — the general pattern for anything that accepts a base URL.

All tool usage is billed from your Rupiah balance per token. See Billing & Pricing.
