Community integrations

These clients accept a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Their maintainers control each client and its release schedule.

Unofficial and best effort

Triton AI does not guarantee compatibility with every release. Check the client documentation when a setup stops working.

Shared values

Most clients on this page use these values:

Setting	Value
Base URL	`https://tritonai-api.ucsd.edu/v1`
API key	Your `TRITONAI_API_KEY` value
Model	An alias from the live model catalog
Protocol	OpenAI Chat Completions

Choose a model that supports every feature you plan to use. Agentic tools usually need function calling.

Platform notes

Paths that start with ~ use your home directory on macOS, Linux, and WSL. On native Windows, replace ~ with %USERPROFILE%. Shell examples use Bash unless a PowerShell tab is shown.

Continue

Put the key in ~/.continue/.env:

~/.continue/.env

TRITONAI_API_KEY=<YOUR_TRITON_AI_API_KEY>

Add the model to ~/.continue/config.yaml:

~/.continue/config.yaml

name: Triton AI
version: 1.0.0
schema: v1

models:
  - name: Triton AI model
    provider: openai
    model: <MODEL_ALIAS>
    apiBase: https://tritonai-api.ucsd.edu/v1
    apiKey: ${{ secrets.TRITONAI_API_KEY }}
    useResponsesApi: false
    roles:
      - chat
      - edit
      - apply

The IDE extensions cannot read your shell exports. See Continue's OpenAI provider guide and secret guidance.

Hermes Agent

Put the key in ~/.hermes/.env:

~/.hermes/.env

TRITONAI_API_KEY=<YOUR_TRITON_AI_API_KEY>

Add a named provider to ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

~/.hermes/config.yaml

providers:
  triton-ai:
    api: https://tritonai-api.ucsd.edu/v1
    key_env: TRITONAI_API_KEY
    transport: chat_completions
    default_model: <MODEL_ALIAS>

model:
  provider: custom:triton-ai
  default: <MODEL_ALIAS>

See the Hermes Agent provider guide.

OpenClaw

Export the key in the environment that starts the OpenClaw gateway. Then add this provider to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: {
        primary: "triton-ai/<MODEL_ALIAS>",
      },
    },
  },
  models: {
    mode: "merge",
    providers: {
      "triton-ai": {
        baseUrl: "https://tritonai-api.ucsd.edu/v1",
        apiKey: {
          source: "env",
          provider: "default",
          id: "TRITONAI_API_KEY",
        },
        api: "openai-completions",
        models: [
          {
            id: "<MODEL_ALIAS>",
            name: "Triton AI model",
          },
        ],
      },
    },
  },
}

See OpenClaw's custom provider guide and secret reference.

Cline

Open Cline settings in VS Code. Enter these values:

Field	Value
API Provider	`OpenAI Compatible`
Base URL	`https://tritonai-api.ucsd.edu/v1`
API Key	Your Developer API key
Model ID	`<MODEL_ALIAS>`

See Cline's OpenAI-compatible setup guide.

Aider

Set the endpoint and key before you start Aider:

export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://tritonai-api.ucsd.edu/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="$TRITONAI_API_KEY"

aider --model "openai/<MODEL_ALIAS>"

Aider can warn when it does not recognize a model alias. See its OpenAI-compatible API guide and model settings guide.

Open WebUI

An Open WebUI administrator can add a connection under Settings → Admin → Connections → OpenAI API.

Field	Value
URL	`https://tritonai-api.ucsd.edu/v1`
API Key	Your Developer API key
Model IDs	Leave empty for discovery, or enter an allowlist

Open WebUI keeps the upstream key on its server. See the OpenAI-compatible provider guide.

Verify an integration

Select the intended model alias.
Ask the client to return a short text response.
If the client edits code, ask it to propose a change without applying it.
Test tool calls before you depend on agentic features.

Autocomplete, image input, prompt caching, and reasoning controls depend on the client and model route.
