Route these agents through AI Gateway to get a single dashboard for spend tracking, access to any model, and automatic fallbacks, all while using the familiar interfaces of your favorite tools. ## Why route coding agents here? | Benefit | Without | With | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------- | | **Spend tracking** | Separate dashboards per provider | Single unified view | | **Model access** | Limited to agent's default models | 200+ models from all providers | | **Billing** | Multiple invoices, multiple accounts | One Vercel invoice | | **Reliability** | Single point of failure | Automatic provider fallbacks | | **Observability** | Limited or no visibility | Full request traces and metrics | ## Supported agents ### Claude Code [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) is Anthropic's agentic coding tool for the terminal. Configure it with environment variables: ```bash export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh" export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-ai-gateway-api-key" ``` Once configured, Claude Code works exactly as before, but requests route through the gateway. See the [Claude Code documentation](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/claude-code) for advanced configuration. ### OpenAI Codex [OpenAI Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex) is OpenAI's terminal-based coding agent. To connect it to AI Gateway, add the following to its configuration file: ```toml filename="~/.codex/config.toml" [model_providers.vercel] name = "Vercel AI Gateway" base_url = "https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1" env_key = "AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY" wire_api = "responses" [profiles.vercel] model_provider = "vercel" model = "openai/gpt-5.2-codex" ``` Then start Codex with the Vercel profile: ```bash codex --profile vercel ``` For full configuration options, see [Configure OpenAI Codex](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/openai-codex). ### OpenCode [OpenCode](https://github.com/opencode-ai/opencode) is an open-source, terminal-based AI coding assistant with native support. Connect directly from within the tool: ```bash opencode > /connect # Select "Vercel AI Gateway" and enter your API key ``` OpenCode automatically discovers available models and lets you switch between them on the fly. See the [OpenCode documentation](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/opencode) for more features. ### Blackbox AI [Blackbox AI](https://blackbox.ai) is a terminal-based CLI for AI-powered code generation and debugging. Configure it with the interactive setup: ```bash blackbox configure # Select "Configure Providers", choose "Vercel AI Gateway", and enter your API key ``` See the [Blackbox AI documentation](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/blackbox) for installation and setup. ### Cline [Cline](https://cline.bot) is a [VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=saoudrizwan.claude-dev) that provides autonomous coding assistance. Configure it directly in VS Code: 1. Open the Cline settings panel 2. Select **Vercel AI Gateway** as your API Provider 3. Paste your API key 4. Choose a model from the auto-populated catalog Cline tracks detailed metrics including reasoning tokens, cache performance, and latency. See the [Cline documentation](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/cline) for troubleshooting tips. ### Roo Code [Roo Code](https://roocode.com) is a [VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RooVeterinaryInc.roo-cline) that brings AI assistance directly into your editor. Configure it through the settings panel: 1. Click the gear icon in the Roo Code panel 2. Select **Vercel AI Gateway** as your provider 3. Enter your API key 4. Choose from hundreds of available models Roo Code includes prompt caching support for Claude and GPT models to reduce costs. See the [Roo Code documentation](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/roo-code) for setup details. ### Conductor [Conductor](https://conductor.build) is a Mac app that lets you run multiple Claude Code agents in parallel, each with an isolated copy of your codebase. Configure it through the settings panel: 1. Go to **Settings** -> **Env** 2. Add the environment variables under **Claude Code** 3. Set `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` to `https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh` Conductor lets you review and merge changes from multiple agents in one place. See the [Conductor documentation](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/conductor) for setup details. ### Crush [Crush](https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush) is a terminal-based AI coding assistant by Charmbracelet with LSP integration and MCP support. Configure it interactively: ```bash crush # Select "Vercel AI Gateway", choose a model, and enter your API Key ``` See the [Crush documentation](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/crush) for installation options. ### Superset [Superset](https://superset.sh) is a terminal-first AI coding agent that works with CLI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor Agents. Configure it with environment variables: ```bash export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh" export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your-ai-gateway-api-key" export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="" ``` Superset also includes a Chat UI with built-in provider configuration. See the [Superset documentation](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/superset) for Chat UI setup. ## Getting started 1. **Get an API key**: Create one in the [AI Gateway page](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fai-gateway\&title=AI+Gateway) 2. **Choose your agent**: Pick from Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode, Blackbox AI, Cline, Roo Code, Conductor, Crush, or Superset 3. **Configure the connection**: Point the agent to `https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh` 4. **Start coding**: Use the agent as normal - all requests route through the gateway ## Monitoring usage Once your coding agents are connected, view usage in the [Observability section in the sidebar](https://vercel.com/dashboard/observability): - **Spend by agent**: See how much each tool costs - **Model usage**: Track which models your agents use most - **Request traces**: Debug issues with full request/response logs ## Next steps - [Set up Claude Code](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/claude-code) - [Configure OpenAI Codex](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/openai-codex) with custom profiles - [Try OpenCode](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/opencode) for native integration - [Set up Blackbox AI](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/blackbox) CLI for code generation - [Configure Cline](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/cline) for autonomous coding assistance - [Install Roo Code](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/roo-code) as a VS Code extension - [Configure Conductor](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/conductor) for parallel agents - [Configure Crush](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/crush) for LSP-enhanced coding - [Configure Superset](/docs/agent-resources/coding-agents/superset) for terminal-first AI coding --- [View full sitemap](/docs/sitemap)
