Configure Model Providers

We recommend using CC Switch to complete the configuration — an open-source provider management tool with visual controls, no need to manually edit JSON or environment variables.

1. Install CC Switch

macOS

Or go to Releases to download the .dmg for manual installation.

Windows

Go to Releases to download the .msi installer.

Linux

2. Add api.tokenhotAI Provider

Step 1: Add a New Provider

Open CC Switch, go to the provider management page, and click the + button in the top-right corner.

Step 2: Fill in Configuration

Fill in as shown below and click + Add to complete.

Configuration Item	Value	Description
❶ Provider Name	`my Codex`	Custom
❷ Website URL		Provider website
❸ API Key	Your tokenhot API Key	Obtain at api.tokenhot.ai
❹ Request URL		Do not add a trailing slash
❺ API Format	`OPenAI Compatible`	OpenAI-compatible format
❽ Write to Global Config	✅ Checked	Write to global configuration, effective for all projects

Step 3: Enable the Provider

After adding, return to the list, select My codex, and click the Use button. A "Switch Successful" notification confirms it's done. Ensure Write to Global Config is checked — the configuration will be automatically written to config.toml.

3. Verify Configuration

A normal AI response indicates successful configuration.

4. Specify a Model

For recommended models, please refer to the Tokenhot Model Plaza.

Troubleshooting

Q: "Authentication error"

Confirm the API Key is correctly filled in and check that the request URL has no trailing slash.

Q: Connection timeout

Confirm the request URL is https://api.tokenhot.ai without a trailing slash.
