Connect in three fields

AnythingLLM has a Generic OpenAI provider for any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Point it at avots.

FieldValue
Base URLhttps://api.avots.ai/openai/v1
API keyav_mcp_… · get your key
Modelanthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6 or any id from the table below

Setup

1. Open LLM settings

Go to Settings → AI Providers → LLM and choose Generic OpenAI as the provider.

2. Fill the fields

Set Base URL to https://api.avots.ai/openai/v1, API Key to your av_mcp_ key, and Chat Model Name to anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6.

3. Set context and tokens

Enter the Token context window for your model and a Max Tokens value, then save.

AnythingLLM · Generic OpenAI
LLM Provider:         Generic OpenAI
Base URL:             https://api.avots.ai/openai/v1
API Key:              av_mcp_YOUR_KEY
Chat Model Name:      anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6
Token context window: 200000
Max Tokens:           4096

Generic OpenAI has no model auto-discovery, type the exact Chat Model Name by hand. Set the Token context window and Max Tokens correctly, wrong values silently truncate or error. This configures the chat LLM only, embeddings are a separate provider.

Example request

curl
curl https://api.avots.ai/openai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer av_mcp_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'

The same key also unlocks MCP tools

Your av_mcp_ key is not only for chat. avots also runs as an MCP server, so AnythingLLM can call avots creative tools, image, video, music, talking avatars, on the same key and the same balance.

FieldValue
MCP serverhttps://mcp.avots.ai/

FAQ

Questions

Which provider do I choose?
Generic OpenAI. It exposes Base URL, API Key, Chat Model Name, context window and max tokens.
Why set context and max tokens?
Generic OpenAI does not read them from the endpoint. Wrong values truncate context or cause errors, so match the model.
Does this set embeddings too?
No. The LLM and the embedder are separate providers in AnythingLLM. This is the chat LLM only.
How is it billed?
Per request from your avots balance.
Does it support function calling and tools?
Yes. The endpoint forwards the standard OpenAI tools, tool_choice and parallel_tool_calls fields (and the legacy functions/function_call), in both streaming and non-streaming mode, so agent frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, Langflow and n8n get real tool_calls back. Whether a given request uses tools depends on the model you pick: Claude, GPT and Gemini all support function calling.
