API Access & Client Setup

Calling the API Directly

Coding Plan traffic flows through a dedicated API key that is separate from your standard Atlas Cloud key.

• Base URL: https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1
• API Key: Generate one from Plan Management → Get API Key.

Request and response shapes follow the OpenAI-compatible specification — see Model APIs for full examples.

Client Configuration

Most coding tools (OpenClaw, Hermes, OpenCode, Cursor, Copilot, …) take an OpenAI-compatible endpoint:

https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1

Claude Code, which speaks the Anthropic Messages protocol, points at:

https://api.atlascloud.ai

The sections below walk through the most common tools.

Configure environment variables

Important: replace ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN below with the API key you generated on the Atlas Cloud console.

Settings file location:

• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.claude\settings.json
• macOS / Linux: ~/.claude/settings.json

Edit settings.json and set the API key and the model you want to route through:

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "atlas-api-key",
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.atlascloud.ai",
    "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "zai-org/glm-5.1",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL": "zai-org/glm-5.1",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL": "zai-org/glm-5.1",
    "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS": "1"
  }
}

OpenClaw

1. Run the OpenClaw onboarding wizard

After installation, open your terminal (SSH / CMD / Terminal) and launch the wizard:

openclaw onboard

Select Yes → QuickStart → Custom Provider, then:

1. Enter the API Base URL: https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1
2. Paste your Atlas Cloud API key.
3. Paste the model ID. Choose the OpenAI-compatible protocol.
4. Verify the connection — you should see Verification successful.
5. Give the endpoint a custom ID and display name.

2. Or configure the settings file directly

• macOS / Linux: ~/.claude/settings.json

{
  "baseUrl": "https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1",
  "apiKey": "your-atlas-key",
  "api": "openai-completions",
  "models": [
    {
      "id": "zai-org/glm-5.1",
      "name": "zai-org/glm-5.1",
      "contextWindow": 200000,
      "input": ["text"]
    }
  ]
}

Hermes

Add a custom OpenAI-compatible provider in Hermes to plug in Atlas Cloud:

1. In the provider list, choose Custom endpoint (enter URL manually).

   

2. Set API base URL to https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1 and paste your Coding Plan API Key as the API key. Once the endpoint is verified, the available models show up:

   

Trae

In Trae, add a custom OpenAI-compatible provider with the Atlas Cloud base URL and your Coding Plan API key.

Cursor

In Cursor → Settings → Models, add a custom OpenAI-compatible model pointing at https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1.

OpenCode

Open the OpenCode config file opencode.json:

• Linux: ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\opencode.json

Provider config

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "atlascloud": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "atlascloud",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1",
        "apiKey": "your-atlas-api-key"
      },
      "models": {
        "zai-org/glm-5.1": {
          "name": "glm-5.1"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Codex

1. Register the provider

On macOS or Linux, create ~/.codex/config.toml:

model_provider = "atlas_coding_plan"
model = "zai-org/glm-5.1"

[model_providers.atlas_coding_plan]
name = "atlascloud"
base_url = "https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1"
wire_api = "chat"
requires_openai_auth = true

2. Add your API key

Create ~/.codex/auth.json:

{
  "OPENAI_API_KEY": "atlas-api-key"
}

Replace atlas-api-key with the key you generated on the Atlas Cloud console.

3. Start Codex
