Tabs

Providers

Add and edit LLM providers. Each provider has an API key, optional base URL, API standard, and a list of models. Set any model as the active default.

Provider presets: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Ollama, Azure, or custom endpoint.

MCPs

Add and edit MCP server configurations. Set the command, arguments, and environment variables for each server.

Gateways

Manage tokens for gateway services like Telegram. Set or clear tokens without editing config files directly.
