Quickstart
Connect an agent in two minutes.
Create a gateway key, point your agent at Cohesor with one environment variable, and start saving. No SDK changes, no proxy config.
Create a gateway key
In the dashboard, open API Keys and generate a key. It starts with aig_live_ and is shown only once — copy it somewhere safe. Then pick your models on the Routing page. That's it: Cohesor serves the models for you.
Point your agent at the gateway
Add these to ~/.zshrc (or run them in your terminal). The same key works across agents.
# Route Claude Code through Cohesor (we serve the model) export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.cohesor.com" export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="aig_live_your_gateway_key"
Enable MCP tools (optional)
Add Cohesor as an MCP server in ~/.claude/.mcp.json to give your agent governed Slack, GitHub and Google tools.

"mcpServers": {
"cohesor": {
"url": "https://api.cohesor.com/mcp",
"headers": { "x-api-key": "aig_live_your_gateway_key" }
}
}
}
Verify the connection
Fire a request from your agent as usual. Within seconds it appears in your dashboard's activity feed — with tokens saved and dollar impact for that call.
Connected
Compression and routing are on by default — you're already saving.
