MiMo Code

MiMo Code supports specifying an OpenAI-compatible base_url in its configuration. Point it at aicentos and fill in the API Key, and MiMo Code runs on the models aicentos offers.

PrerequisitesCopy anchor link

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

• Console: https://aicentos.com
• Create a key: https://aicentos.com/keys
• Wallet top-up: https://aicentos.com/wallet
• Docs site: https://docs.aicentos.com

MiMo Code is a CLI tool, most commonly installed globally with npm; if the release package you got is a tarball, extract it and put the executable on your PATH.

npm install -g mimo-code
mimo --version

Configuration to fill inCopy anchor link

Setup stepsCopy anchor link

Environment variables are recommended for the best compatibility:

export MIMO_BASE_URL="https://aicentos.com/v1"
export MIMO_API_KEY="sk-your-Key"
export AICENTOS_API_KEY="$MIMO_API_KEY"
export MIMO_MODEL="gpt-4o"

To persist them, write the exports into ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc, then run source ~/.zshrc.

If you prefer a configuration file, edit ~/.mimo/config.json:

{
  "baseUrl": "https://aicentos.com/v1",
  "apiKey": "sk-your-Key",
  "model": "gpt-4o"
}

Note that different versions may name the configuration keys differently (base_url / baseUrl) and use different environment variable prefixes (MIMO_ / MIMOCODE_). If the variable names above have no effect, check mimo --help or the official documentation for the names your version actually reads instead of trial and error.

After configuring, run mimo directly and send a simple prompt. On an authentication error, check first whether the environment variable names are recognized by your version, whether base_url stops at /v1, and whether the key has stray spaces.

NotesCopy anchor link

• Some versions validate base_url against the built-in official endpoint at startup; if you notice the configuration being ignored, switching to environment variables usually works around it.
• Enter the Base URL only up to /v1.
• Before filling in a model name, verify it is visible with curl https://aicentos.com/v1/models -H "Authorization: Bearer $AICENTOS_API_KEY".
• When environment variables and the configuration file are both present, precedence differs across versions — keep only one configuration method.
