Get started
AI-assisted setup
Hand a ready-made prompt to your coding assistant and let it wire up Kumo for you.
How it works
This prompt points your code at Kumo. Hand it to an AI assistant and it rewrites everything for you — it finds where your AI client is configured and changes only the base URL and key, leaving the rest of your logic untouched.
Four steps
Copy the prompt
The prompt below is ready to use as-is — nothing to fill in.
Paste it into your AI assistant
ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Copilot or any coding agent in your editor.
Drop in your API key
Replace <KUMO_API_KEY> with a key from the Keys page.
Done — your code runs on Kumo
The assistant swaps only the base URL and key. One endpoint for every model.
The full prompt
The prompt is English-only by design — it works most reliably with coding AI assistants that way.
Goal: connect my existing codebase to Kumo — an AI gateway that is drop-in compatible
with the major AI SDKs — so my current code keeps working but every model call routes through Kumo.
Connection details:
- Base URL / endpoint: https://api.kumo.cloud/v1
- Auth header: Authorization: Bearer <KUMO_API_KEY>
^ replace <KUMO_API_KEY> with my key from the Kumo dashboard -> Keys page.
- Compatible APIs: OpenAI Chat Completions (/v1/chat/completions) and Responses (/v1/responses),
and the Anthropic Messages API (/v1/messages). Keep whichever one my code already uses.
- Models: keep whatever model my code already calls. Kumo serves models from several providers
(OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others); the model name stays in the request, exactly as now.
Rules:
- First detect what my code actually uses (which SDK / HTTP client and which endpoint) before changing anything.
- Do NOT rewrite my application logic. Change only the client config: the base URL / endpoint and the API key.
- Keep my current SDK / library as-is — Kumo is compatible with it; do not switch me to a different SDK.
- Read the key from an environment variable (e.g. KUMO_API_KEY); never hard-code it in source.
- Do NOT change my model names. If you can't tell which model or SDK I use, ask me before guessing.
Steps:
1. Find where my AI client is configured — the base URL / endpoint and the API key — whatever SDK or HTTP client that is.
2. Point the base URL at https://api.kumo.cloud/v1 and set the key to my Kumo key from the env var.
3. Leave every request, prompt, model name and parameter unchanged.
4. Make one small test call (with a model and SDK I already use) and show me the response to confirm it works.
Done when: my code runs against Kumo with only the base URL and key changed, and the test call returns a valid response.
Reply: tell me which file(s) you changed and paste the test response.
