Quickstart

Connect an agent in two minutes.

Create a gateway key, point your agent at Cohesor with one environment variable, and start saving. No SDK changes, no proxy config.

1

Create a gateway key

In the dashboard, open API Keys and generate a key. It starts with aig_live_ and is shown only once — copy it somewhere safe. Then pick your models on the Routing page. That's it: Cohesor serves the models for you.

Create a key
2

Point your agent at the gateway

Add these to ~/.zshrc (or run them in your terminal). The same key works across agents.

bash
# Route Claude Code through Cohesor (we serve the model)
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.cohesor.com"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="aig_live_your_gateway_key"
3

Enable MCP tools (optional)

Add Cohesor as an MCP server in ~/.claude/.mcp.json to give your agent governed Slack, GitHub and Google tools.

~/.claude/.mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cohesor": {
      "url": "https://api.cohesor.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "x-api-key": "aig_live_your_gateway_key" }
    }
  }
}
4

Verify the connection

Fire a request from your agent as usual. Within seconds it appears in your dashboard's activity feed — with tokens saved and dollar impact for that call.

Connected

Compression and routing are on by default — you're already saving.
