Client Configuration

Client Configuration

MonkeyAI works with most OpenAI-compatible clients.

Common configuration

Use these values unless the client says otherwise:

Provider type: OpenAI Compatible / Custom OpenAI
Base URL: https://monkeytheme.com/v1
API Key: sk-your-api-key
Model: gpt-4o-mini

Cherry Studio

1. Open Settings. 2. Add a custom OpenAI-compatible provider. 3. Fill in:

Name: MonkeyAI
API Key: sk-your-api-key
Base URL: https://monkeytheme.com/v1
Model: gpt-4o-mini

4. Save and test with a short message.

Chatbox

1. Open Settings. 2. Choose OpenAI-compatible or custom provider. 3. Fill in:

API Host / Base URL: https://monkeytheme.com/v1
API Key: sk-your-api-key
Model: gpt-4o-mini

LobeChat

1. Go to provider settings. 2. Add a custom OpenAI provider. 3. Use:

Base URL: https://monkeytheme.com/v1
API Key: sk-your-api-key
Model: gpt-4o-mini

NextChat

Use an OpenAI-compatible custom endpoint:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-api-key
BASE_URL=https://monkeytheme.com/v1

If your deployment expects OPENAI_BASE_URL, use that variable instead.

Open WebUI

Set the OpenAI-compatible API endpoint:

OpenAI API Base URL: https://monkeytheme.com/v1
OpenAI API Key: sk-your-api-key

Then refresh the model list.

Which model should I choose?

• Default chat: gpt-4o-mini
• Higher quality: gpt-4o
• Coding: gpt-4o or claude-sonnet-4-20250514-20250514
• Low cost: deepseek-chat

Troubleshooting

If the client cannot load models:

1. Check whether Base URL includes /v1. 2. Check the API key format. 3. Test with curl:

curl https://monkeytheme.com/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-api-key"

If curl works but the client does not, the client configuration is likely incorrect.
