1. Open the API panel
In SillyTavern open the API connections panel and set API to Chat Completion.
Choose Custom (OpenAI-compatible) as the Chat Completion source in SillyTavern, paste the avots endpoint and your av_mcp_ key, and pick a model.
SillyTavern speaks the OpenAI Chat Completion format. Point its custom source at avots.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Base URL | https://api.avots.ai/openai/v1 |
| API key | av_mcp_… · get your key |
| Model | anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6 or any id from the table below |
In SillyTavern open the API connections panel and set API to Chat Completion.
Set Chat Completion Source to Custom (OpenAI-compatible).
Enter https://api.avots.ai/openai/v1 as the Custom Endpoint and your av_mcp_ key as the Custom API Key, then choose anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6.
Chat Completion Source: Custom (OpenAI-compatible)
Custom Endpoint (Base URL): https://api.avots.ai/openai/v1
Custom API Key: av_mcp_YOUR_KEY
Model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6
Keep /v1 on the URL but do not append /chat/completions, SillyTavern adds that itself. If the endpoint serves /v1/models the Model becomes a dropdown, otherwise type the id. If a status check fails wrongly, enable Bypass API status check.
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!"}]
}'
Your av_mcp_ key is not only for chat. avots also runs as an MCP server, so SillyTavern can call avots creative tools, image, video, music, talking avatars, on the same key and the same balance.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| MCP server | https://mcp.avots.ai/ |
| API key | av_mcp_… · same key as above |
Set the model field to any id below, or a lazy name like claude / gpt / gemini that maps to a sensible default.
