LibreChat

Add the gateway to LibreChat as a custom endpoint in librechat.yaml, with the key in your .env file and the model list fetched from the API.

LibreChat is a self-hosted chat interface configured with a librechat.yaml file. The gateway goes in as a custom endpoint. Checked against LibreChat v0.8.8.

You need an API key from API keys and this base URL:

Base URL https://api.oneaiapikey.com/v1

Add the endpoint

  1. Put the key in LibreChat’s .env file:

    .env
    RELAYKIT_API_KEY=<your Relaykit key>
  2. Add the endpoint under endpoints.custom in librechat.yaml. Keep the rest of your file as it is.

    librechat.yaml
    endpoints:
      custom:
        - name: "Relaykit"
          apiKey: "${RELAYKIT_API_KEY}"
          baseURL: "https://api.oneaiapikey.com/v1"
          models:
            default: ["claude-haiku-4-5", "claude-sonnet-5-5"]
            fetch: true
          titleConvo: true
          titleModel: "claude-haiku-4-5"
          modelDisplayLabel: "Relaykit"
  3. Restart LibreChat. With Docker, make sure librechat.yaml is mounted into the container (LibreChat’s docs use a docker-compose.override.yml for this).

  4. Choose Relaykit in the endpoint menu, pick a model and send a message. The request shows up on your usage page.

What the settings do

  • apiKey: “${RELAYKIT_API_KEY}” reads the key from .env, so it never sits in the YAML file.
  • baseURL must end in /v1.
  • fetch: true loads the model list from the gateway; default is the list shown if fetching fails.
  • titleModel is the model that names each conversation. A fast, cheap model is enough, and saves money on every new chat.

Troubleshooting

  • The endpoint does not appear: LibreChat did not load the file. Check its startup log for YAML errors and that the file is mounted.
  • 401 errors: the variable name in apiKey does not match the one in .env, or the key was revoked.
  • A model fails with 403: the key’s model list does not include it, or your balance is empty. See Errors.
