Quickstart

Create a key, add credit, and copy a ready-made setup for your tool.

Four steps, about two minutes.

Step 1 — Create an API key

  1. Sign up or log in.
  2. Open Console → API keys and click Create key.
  3. Copy the key (it starts with sk-aivo_). It is shown only once — store it somewhere safe, like a password manager.

The window that shows your new key also has the ready-made setup commands with the key already filled in — you can copy them right there.

Step 2 — Add credit

A brand-new account has nothing to spend yet, so the first request would fail with 402. Pick one:

  • Free: claim free tokens on the faucet.
  • Pay as you go: top up your balance on Billing.
  • Monthly plan: choose one on Pricing.

Step 3 — Copy your setup

Paste your key into the box below, pick your tool, then copy the command and paste it into your terminal. Everything — base URL, key and model — is already filled in.

Your key stays in this browser tab. It is not sent anywhere and not saved.

Paste into a terminal. It saves the settings for new terminals too, then starts Claude Code.

RC="$HOME/.$(basename "$SHELL")rc"
cat >> "$RC" <<'EOF'

# AivoKey - Claude Code
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.aivokey.dev"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-aivo_YOUR_KEY"
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="deepseek-v4-pro"
export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL="deepseek-v4-pro"
export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL="deepseek-v4-pro"
export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL="deepseek-v4-pro"
export CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL="deepseek-v4-pro"
EOF
. "$RC"
claude

Paste your key above and it is filled into the commands. Model: deepseek-v4-pro. You can switch to any id from the Models page later.

Prefer to set things up by hand? Every tool has its own page: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cline, Roo Code & Kilo Code, Other tools & SDKs.

Step 4 — Check it works

Send one message in your tool (or use the Test (curl) tab above). The request shows up within seconds in Console → Usage.

Not working? Check Troubleshooting.
