Provider Config

Provider Configuration Skill

Configure and integrate AI providers into the mimo2codex proxy.

When to use

Trigger this skill when:

• User wants to add a new provider (e.g., "接入MiniMax", "add a new provider")
• User provides provider configuration JSON
• User asks to configure a provider (e.g., "按要求配置")
• User has provider connectivity issues
• User asks about provider compatibility

Workflow

1. Understand Provider Requirements

Gather from user:

• Base URL: API endpoint (e.g., https://api.example.com/v1)
• API Key: Authentication method
• Models: Which models to expose
• Wire API: OpenAI-compatible? Custom format?
• Special features: Vision, tools, streaming, etc.

2. Check Existing Provider Patterns

Look at src/providers/ for examples:

• mimo.ts - MiMo provider (built-in)
• deepseek.ts - DeepSeek provider (built-in)
• registry.ts - Provider registration
• types.ts - Provider type definitions

3. Create Provider Configuration

For generic OpenAI-compatible providers:

// In src/providers/registry.ts or config
{
  id: "provider-name",
  shortcut: "provider-name",
  displayName: "Provider Display Name",
  baseUrl: "https://api.example.com/v1",
  models: ["model-1", "model-2"],
  wireApi: "openai-chat", // or "custom"
  apiKeyEnv: "PROVIDER_API_KEY",
}

4. Handle Provider Quirks

Common compatibility issues:

• max_tokens vs max_completion_tokens: Some providers use different field names
• Image input: Not all providers support vision
• Tool calling: Some providers have limited tool support
• Streaming: Check SSE format compatibility
• Rate limiting: Implement retry logic if needed

5. Test Provider Integration

# Test with direct API call
curl -X POST "$BASE_URL/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"model-name","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

# Test through mimo2codex
curl -X POST http://localhost:8788/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"provider-name/model-name","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

6. Document Provider

Add to provider documentation:

• Base URL and auth method
• Supported models and capabilities
• Known quirks or limitations
• Example configuration

Example Usage

User: 按要求配置：{ "providers": [ { "id": "sensenova", "shortcut": "sensenova", "displayName": "商汤日日新", "baseUrl": "..." } ] }

Agent workflow:
1. Parse the provider configuration JSON
2. Check if provider needs special handling
3. Add to registry.ts or config
4. Test the integration
5. Document any quirks found

Provider Compatibility Matrix

Common Configuration Patterns

For OpenAI-Compatible APIs

{
  "id": "my-provider",
  "shortcut": "my-provider",
  "displayName": "My AI Provider",
  "baseUrl": "https://api.my-provider.com/v1",
  "models": ["gpt-4", "gpt-3.5-turbo"],
  "wireApi": "openai-chat",
  "apiKeyEnv": "MY_PROVIDER_API_KEY"
}

For Custom APIs

{
  "id": "custom-ai",
  "shortcut": "custom-ai",
  "displayName": "Custom AI",
  "baseUrl": "https://custom-ai.example.com/api",
  "models": ["custom-model-v1"],
  "wireApi": "custom",
  "apiKeyEnv": "CUSTOM_AI_KEY",
  "transformRequest": "custom-transform.ts",
  "transformResponse": "custom-transform.ts"
}

Troubleshooting

"Unauthorized" / 401 Errors

• Check API key is correct
• Verify API key has proper permissions
• Check if key needs specific header format

"Model Not Found" / 404 Errors

• Verify model name matches provider's expected format
• Check if model is available in your region
• Confirm model is enabled in your account

Streaming Issues

• Check if provider supports SSE format
• Verify stream: true in request
• Look for newline-delimited JSON issues

Tool Calling Issues

• Verify provider supports function calling
• Check tool schema format compatibility
• Look for tool_choice support

Key Commands Reference

# Print current config
node dist/cli.js print-config

# Print cc-switch config
node dist/cli.js print-cc-switch

# Test provider directly
curl -X POST "$BASE_URL/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"model-name","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"test"}]}'

# Check mimo2codex logs
tail -f ~/.mimo2codex/logs/proxy.log
