OpenAI-Compatible Providers

OpenAI-Compatible Providers

The built-in custom provider works with any OpenAI-compatible API using the Chat Completions endpoint.

Configuration

swixter claude create openai-profile \
  --provider custom \
  --api-key sk-... \
  --base-url https://api.openai.com/v1 \
  --model gpt-4o

Provider Details

Field	Value
Provider ID	custom
Wire API	chat
Default Base URL	https://api.openai.com/v1
Env Key	OPENAI_API_KEY

Supported Services

Any service with an OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint works:

Service	Base URL
OpenAI	https://api.openai.com/v1
Groq	https://api.groq.com/openai/v1
Together AI	https://api.together.xyz/v1
DeepSeek	https://api.deepseek.com/v1
Fireworks	https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1
OpenRouter	https://openrouter.ai/api/v1

Creating a Provider for Each Service

For frequently used services, create a user-defined provider:

swixter providers add deepseek \
  --name "DeepSeek" \
  --base-url https://api.deepseek.com/v1 \
  --wire-api chat \
  --env-key DEEPSEEK_API_KEY

Then use it when creating profiles:

swixter claude create deepseek-profile --provider deepseek

Compatibility

• Compatible with all coders (Claude Code, Codex, Continue.dev)
• wire_api: "chat" type works universally

Custom env_key

Customize the environment variable used for the API key (especially useful for Codex):

swixter codex create my-profile \
  --provider custom \
  --env-key GROQ_API_KEY
