# Connect Gonka models to your tool

OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API. Pick your tool — get the install command, an agent prompt, and a verification step.

## Quick facts

- Base URL for OpenAI API clients: `https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1`
- Base URL for Anthropic API clients, without `/v1`: `https://gate.joingonka.ai`
- The key is passed in the `Authorization: Bearer jg-…` or `x-api-key: jg-…` header
- List of available models: `GET https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1/models`
- Recommended model: `MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7`

## Connect a tool

Pick your tool — below are three steps tailored to it. The installer configures the tools in the table below (25 of them) with a single command; the rest are connected via a guide.

### Key

Sign up at [gate.joingonka.ai](https://gate.joingonka.ai/register) and create a key in your dashboard. Right after signing up, 3M free tokens land in your account.

### Connection

The installer configures the tool on its own: it prompts for the key with hidden input, writes the config, and verifies the connection. The value for `--tool` is in the tool table below.

```bash
npx -y @joingonka/setup --tool <id> --model MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7
```

Or delegate the setup to an AI agent — send it this prompt:

```text
Connect your tool to JoinGonka Gateway — the OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API of the Gonka network — following the instructions at https://gate.joingonka.ai/docs/agents.md. I'll provide the key myself: don't save it in repository files and don't modify global environment variables. At the end, verify the connection with a short request and report the result.
```

Step-by-step guides for each tool are linked in the table below.

### Verification

Account balance — this request doesn't spend tokens:

```bash
curl -s https://gate.joingonka.ai/api/balance \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JOINGONKA_API_KEY"
```

A short request to the model — a 200 response means everything is set up:

```bash
curl -s https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JOINGONKA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say OK"}], "max_tokens": 32}'
```

## Code examples

The same request via the OpenAI SDK, cURL, and the Anthropic SDK. The key is read from the `JOINGONKA_API_KEY` environment variable.

### Python

```python
import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1",
    api_key=os.environ["JOINGONKA_API_KEY"],
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What is Gonka?"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

### TypeScript

```typescript
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1",
  apiKey: process.env.JOINGONKA_API_KEY,
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "What is Gonka?" }],
});
console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
```

### cURL

```bash
curl https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JOINGONKA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What is Gonka?"}]
  }'
```

### Anthropic SDK

```python
import os
import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
    base_url="https://gate.joingonka.ai",
    api_key=os.environ["JOINGONKA_API_KEY"],
)

message = client.messages.create(
    model="MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What is Gonka?"}],
)
print(message.content[0].text)
```
