The [Vercel CLI setup command](/docs/cli/ai-gateway#setup) does not configure it. ## Configuring Command Code - ### Install Command Code With Node.js 22 or later installed, run: ```bash filename="Terminal" npm i -g command-code@latest command-code --version ``` The second command prints the installed version. See the [Command Code installation instructions](https://commandcode.ai/docs/quickstart) for platform-specific details. If you haven't signed in to Command Code, run: ```bash filename="Terminal" command-code login ``` Complete the sign-in in your browser, then return to the terminal after Command Code confirms the login. - ### Create an API key Create an [AI Gateway API key](/docs/ai-gateway/authentication-and-byok) and export it in the terminal where you run Command Code: ```bash filename="Terminal" export AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY="your-ai-gateway-api-key" ``` Replace `your-ai-gateway-api-key` with your key. - ### Configure the provider Create `~/.commandcode/providers.json` with the following configuration. If the file exists, add the `vercel` entry to its `provider` object: ```json filename="~/.commandcode/providers.json" { "provider": { "vercel": { "name": "Vercel AI Gateway", "baseURL": "https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/coding-agent/v1", "apiKey": "$AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY", "models": { "deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash": {} } } } } ``` The `baseURL` uses the [coding agent endpoint](/docs/ai-gateway/coding-agents#which-base-url-to-use). Command Code uses OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions by default. Add an entry under `models` for each model you want to use, with its AI Gateway model ID. > **💡 Note:** Keep `apiKey` as an environment variable reference. Command Code rejects raw > secrets in `providers.json`. A key previously saved for this provider through > `/connect` takes precedence. Clear that saved key to use the environment > variable. - ### Start Command Code Start a session in the same terminal: ```bash filename="Terminal" command-code ``` Run `/model` and select a model under **Vercel AI Gateway**. Requests for that model route through AI Gateway. Reopen `/model` after editing `providers.json` to load your changes. Send a prompt, then check [AI Gateway logs](/docs/ai-gateway/observability-and-spend/logs) to verify the request. ## Next steps - [Monitor usage and spending](/docs/ai-gateway/observability-and-spend/usage) - [Explore Command Code's BYOK options](https://commandcode.ai/docs/byok) --- [View full sitemap](/docs/sitemap)
