Connect clients to MonkeyAI

Prerequisites

Node.jsInstall Node.js and prepare your terminal.

Clients

CodexConnect Codex using the Responses protocol.Claude CodeSet the Claude Code endpoint and model.Gemini CLIConfigure native Gemini access and authentication.TRAE SOLOAdd a custom provider in the desktop interface.OpenClawConnect OpenClaw with an external-use group.HermesConfigure a model and key for Hermes.

APIs and capabilities

API scriptsCall the API from Python or Node.js.Image generationGenerate or edit images with an eligible group.TypeSafeGet structured judgments through jev-latest.

Before you start: account, key and cost

Register, sign in, then create a key in key management. Choose its group deliberately: a model must belong to that group, and some groups also restrict the client. Check live pricing before use; this guide does not freeze prices or multipliers.

Choose a connection path

Goal	Guide	Check first
Prepare a terminal	Node.js	node/npm on Windows, macOS or Linux
Work in a project with Codex	Codex	Responses protocol and group access
Use Claude Code	Claude Code	Anthropic root URL and model
Use Gemini CLI	Gemini CLI	Native Gemini protocol and authentication
Add a model in a GUI	TRAE SOLO	Custom provider protocol support
Configure an independent agent	OpenClaw, Hermes	An external-use group is required
Integrate your own program	API scripts	Protocol, response format and errors
Generate or edit images	Image generation	Image model and eligible group
Make structured judgments	TypeSafe	Currently usable entry: jev-latest

Endpoint and group rules

The OpenAI-compatible base is https://monkeytheme.com/v1. The Anthropic base is https://monkeytheme.com; the client appends /v1/messages. Native Gemini routes use /v1beta/. Match the protocol and avoid duplicated version paths.

Codex Pro（仅限Codex） permits only ChatGPT Desktop and Codex CLI: no OpenClaw, Hermes, external scripts or image generation. Codex Pro（外接版） permits external clients and lists image models. Codex Lite（特价福利） permits external use but has no free Fast tier and currently lists no image models. Claude Max（仅限CC） permits only Claude Code and Claude Desktop. For external clients, choose Claude Max（外接版）, Claude Plus（精品） or a suitable official direct group.

Perform a controlled verification

Check the client version, URL, exact model ID and key group first. A short request from your terminal can then verify access and may incur charges. Launching a client alone does not prove connectivity. No example here has been validated by live inference. Keep a redacted error code and request ID; do not share authorization headers, keys or complete private logs.

Platforms and capability limits

Use PowerShell on Windows, or WSL when a client requires Unix tools; use Terminal on macOS and your distribution's package manager on Linux. Follow each guide’s official installation and custom-provider setup steps. A model listing does not prove support for every tool, cache, image or video parameter. MonkeyAI has no Muse/Hunyuan groups; this documentation does not promise those capabilities.
