> Configure an OpenAI Compatible provider in Roo Code with the aicentos Base URL and API Key

Roo Code officially supports the OpenAI Compatible provider, so it can connect to this service directly.

## Installation

Official installation page: [https://roocode.com/extension](https://roocode.com/extension)

If you use VS Code or a compatible fork, the most direct way to install is:

```bash
code --install-extension RooVeterinaryInc.roo-cline
```

You can also search for `Roo Code` in the extension marketplace and install the official plugin.

## Open the provider configuration

Open the settings page in the Roo Code panel and go to the model provider configuration.

## Configuration to fill in

Set `API Provider` to `OpenAI Compatible`, then fill in:

* Base URL: `https://aicentos.com/v1`
* API Key: your `codex_...` or `sk-...` key
* Model ID: `gpt-5-codex-mini`

If the model is not listed in the dropdown, you can type the model name manually.

## Test

After saving, start a new task and confirm Roo Code connects normally and starts replying.

## Notes

* The official Roo Code documentation requires the `OpenAI Compatible` provider
* Roo Code's OpenAI-compatible provider depends on the model supporting native tool calling
* For this service, simply enter `https://aicentos.com/v1` as the Base URL
