Connect your tools to OpenLux
19 step-by-step guides for pointing the tools you already use at the OpenLux endpoint: coding agents, chat clients, automation platforms and app builders. Every guide uses the same base URL and the same key as the rest of the catalogue.

Same base URL everywhere
Each guide differs only in where the setting lives; the value is always the OpenLux endpoint and your OpenLux key.
Pick models per role
Cheap tiers for autocomplete and routine chat, flagships for hard reasoning — the same account covers both.
One meter for everything
Every tool in these guides draws on the same balance, with cost per model visible in the console.
