About freellmapi
freellmapi
Point your coding agent at a FreeLLMAPI gateway in one command. The generators read the models your server is actually serving and write the config file each tool expects.
No install step, no account. The unified API key comes from your FreeLLMAPI dashboard (or the tray popover in the desktop app).
Commands
| Command | Tool |
| setup-claude | Claude Code | | setup-codex | Codex CLI | | setup-cline | Cline | | setup-continue | Continue | | setup-aider | Aider | | setup-opencode | OpenCode | | setup-goose | Goose | | setup-qwen | Qwen Code | | setup-roo | Roo Code | | setup-kilo | Kilo Code | | setup-crush | Crush | | setup-dsh | DeepSeek Harness (dsh) | | setup-mimo | MiMo Code (mimo) | | setup-atomcode | AtomCode (atomcode) | | setup-openclaw | OpenClaw | | setup-hermes | Hermes Agent (hermes) | | setup-pi | Pi (pi) | | setup-reasonix | Reasonix (reasonix) | | setup-cursor | Cursor | | setup-generic | Any OpenAI-compatible client | | launch | Run Claude Code with credentials injected into the child process | | launch-codex | Run Codex the same way | | list | Print the supported tools and their base URLs | | keys | Add, list, remove, or test provider keys (keys --help) |
Options
| Flag | Meaning |
| --url URL | Gateway base URL (default http://localhost:3001) | | --api-key KEY | Unified API key | | --profile NAME | Name the generated profile/provider entry | | --model ID | Pin a specific model instead of the catalog default | | --dry-run | Print the diff and write nothing |
FREELLMAPI_URL and FREELLMAPI_API_KEY work in place of --url / --api-key.
Provider keys
The keys commands use a dashboard session token. Set FREELLMAPI_DASHBOARD_TOKEN, or pass --token TOKEN to override it. This is the session returned by dashboard sign-in (stored in the signed-in browser's local storage as freellmapi_dashboard_token). The unified --api-key / FREELLMAPI_API_KEY used by coding agents cannot authenticate these commands. The CLI does not log in or persist the dashboard token.
keys list prints each key's ID, platform, enabled chat model count, enabled/disabled state, and stored health status. Counts respect the key's model scope; custom keys count models registered to their endpoint. Credentials and masked keys are never printed. Use the IDs from this list when a platform has multiple keys: remove requires --id in that case, and also checks that the ID belongs to the requested platform. With one matching key, --id is optional.
add saves the key and immediately validates it through the gateway. A failed or inconclusive check exits with code 1 and leaves the key saved for later testing or removal. test also exits with code 1 if any selected key is not healthy or the gateway cannot confirm its validity (for example, after a provider network failure). Successful commands exit with code 0; argument, authentication, and request errors exit with code 1. Validation uses the gateway's usual health checks, including its policy of disabling a key after repeated confirmed failures.
Keyless providers skip the prompt. Custom endpoints need a URL and model registration, so create them in the dashboard; existing custom keys can be listed, tested, and removed here. Requests accept --url / FREELLMAPI_URL and --timeout MS (30,000 ms per request by default). --dry-run is not supported for keys; it is rejected before any request.
Safety
Every generator is non-destructive: it merges into your existing configuration rather than replacing it, and takes a timestamped backup before touching a file that already exists. --dry-run shows the exact diff first.
The two launch commands never write credentials to disk at all — they inject them into the child process environment for that run only.
Requirements
Node.js >= 20.18. A running FreeLLMAPI gateway (install guide).
