Getting started
Quickstart
Create a key and send your first auto-routed request in three steps.
Point your existing OpenAI SDK at the gateway, connect your providers, and ship. Prefer an IDE or CLI agent? Jump straight to For AI Tools & IDEs.
1 · Sign in & create a key
Sign in to the dashboard with Google or email, then
create an API key under Settings → External Keys. Keys are sk--prefixed
and can be revoked at any time.
2 · Point any OpenAI SDK at the gateway
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://app.vcodex.ai/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... # your VCodeX key3 · Send an auto-routed request
curl https://app.vcodex.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
-d '{ "model": "vcodex/auto", "messages": [{"role":"user","content":"ship it"}] }'Behind the scenes the request is scored, routed to the right model tier through your org's keys, checked against guardrails and budgets, and logged with a ULID correlation ID.
Your keys never leave the vault
VCodeX routes requests through your own provider accounts. Set budgets, fallbacks and guardrails once in the dashboard and they apply to every app and key automatically.
