Create a key in [Token Management](https://infistar.ai/console/token), then choose a client that supports the request format of your selected model. Copy the exact model ID from your key's model list or [Models and pricing](https://infistar.ai/pricing).

## Chat clients

For browser chat without an API key, use [Infistar Chat](https://infistar.ai/chat). For individual HTTP requests and media tasks, use [Apifox](/en/client-integrations/apifox).

## Coding assistants and editors

- [Codex](/en/client-integrations/codex): Responses configuration.
- [Claude Code](/en/client-integrations/claude-code): Messages configuration.
- [Gemini CLI](/en/client-integrations/gemini-cli): Gemini endpoint and authentication.
- [OpenCode](/en/client-integrations/opencode) and [Crush](/en/client-integrations/crush): custom terminal providers.
- [Cursor](/en/client-integrations/cursor): custom address and feature limitations.
- [TRAE](/en/client-integrations/trae): custom model configuration.
- [VS Code with Continue](/en/client-integrations/vs-code): local YAML configuration.

## Agents and configuration tools

[Hermes](/en/client-integrations/hermes) and [OpenClaw](/en/client-integrations/openclaw) can act on files and external tools. Verify a simple response before allowing those actions.

[CC-Switch](/en/client-integrations/cc-switch), [Claude Code Router](/en/client-integrations/claude-code-router), [Codex++](/en/client-integrations/codex-plus-plus) and [AiMaMi](/en/client-integrations/aimami) configure or route other clients. They do not replace the underlying model service. Avoid multiple tools writing the same client's configuration at once.

## Address and capability checks

Clients differ in whether they expect a root host, a base URL ending in `/v1`, or a complete endpoint. Follow the selected guide and check the final request address. A working text request does not guarantee tools, images or every optional parameter. See [Gateway configuration](/en/integration-guides/gateway-config) and [API compatibility](/en/api-compatibility-matrix).
