Set up your coding agent

One base URL. GLM-5.2-class models. Auto-routed to the cheapest model that won't fail your task.

StrataCode speaks the OpenAI API. Any tool that lets you set a base URL and an API key works — you keep your workflow and swap only where the tokens come from. Use stratacode/auto to let the router pick the cheapest model that can handle each turn.

Get your API key

The two values you need

Base URL

https://api.stratacode.ai/v1

Model

stratacode/auto — or pin one from the catalog.

Environment (works with most tools)

export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.stratacode.ai/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk_your_key_here"

Per-tool setup

In the provider settings, choose OpenAI Compatible and set:

Base URL:  https://api.stratacode.ai/v1
API Key:   sk_your_key_here
Model ID:  stratacode/auto

{
  "provider": {
    "stratacode": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "options": { "baseURL": "https://api.stratacode.ai/v1", "apiKey": "sk_your_key_here" }
    }
  },
  "model": "stratacode/auto"
}

Or just run stc login — it writes this for you.

Point the Anthropic-compatible base URL at StrataCode:

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.stratacode.ai"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk_your_key_here"

Anthropic-compatible ingress is rolling out — check the docs for current status.

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

llm = ChatOpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.stratacode.ai/v1",
    api_key="sk_your_key_here",
    model="stratacode/auto",
)

import { createOpenAICompatible } from "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible"

const stratacode = createOpenAICompatible({
  name: "stratacode",
  baseURL: "https://api.stratacode.ai/v1",
  apiKey: process.env.STRATACODE_API_KEY,
})

const model = stratacode("stratacode/auto")

Why `auto`

stratacode/auto scores each request and routes simple turns to a cheaper model, hard turns to the full model, and escalates automatically if a cheap answer looks incomplete. The response tells you which model actually answered, and you’re billed at that model’s rate. See how routing works.
