Command Code

Command Code is a terminal coding agent that uses its built-in providers by default and also supports BYOK: register a custom provider in ~/.commandcode/providers.json and point the baseURL at aicentos.

PrerequisitesCopy anchor link

First create a dedicated key for Command Code on the console's "API Keys" page (naming it command-code makes usage easier to track):

• Console: https://aicentos.com
• Create a key: https://aicentos.com/keys
• Top up when the balance runs out: https://aicentos.com/wallet

Setup stepsCopy anchor link

1. Set the environment variableCopy anchor link

export AICENTOS_API_KEY="sk-your-API-Key"

Add it to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc to persist it.

2. Edit providers.jsonCopy anchor link

Edit ~/.commandcode/providers.json and add an entry under the provider object:

{
  "provider": {
    "aicentos": {
      "name": "aicentos",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "baseURL": "https://aicentos.com/v1",
      "apiKey": "$AICENTOS_API_KEY",
      "models": {
        "gpt-4o": {}
      }
    }
  }
}

Field descriptions:

Replace the model IDs in models with names from the Model Gallery in the console; see Supported models.

3. Select the providerCopy anchor link

Once inside Command Code:

• Run /connect, select aicentos and complete the key confirmation;
• Run /model and choose the model to use.

Note: after modifying providers.json, you need to reopen /model for the new configuration to load.

TestCopy anchor link

After picking the model, send a simple prompt:

Answer in one sentence: what is 1+1?

A normal response means the integration works. You can also press u on the provider in /connect to have it call the endpoint's /models and refresh the model list.

NotesCopy anchor link

• Command Code uses OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions by default, so setting api to openai-completions is enough.
• To use Claude-family models, you need a separate provider entry with api: "anthropic-messages" — the two protocols build paths differently (the OpenAI SDK appends /chat/completions, the Anthropic SDK appends /v1/messages), so a single baseURL cannot serve both.
• baseURL must include /v1; Command Code appends the remaining path itself.
• Pasting a plain-text key directly into apiKey is rejected; use the $VAR form.
• Troubleshooting order: can you see the model in /model → are the environment variables visible in the terminal you launched from → does baseURL stop at /v1 → is the balance sufficient.
