Msty Integration

Msty is a desktop AI chat application that supports both local and remote AI models. It provides a polished interface with features like chat history, prompt templates, and multi-model support.

Msty supports custom API providers, including OpenAI-compatible endpoints like LLM API.

Prerequisites

An LLM API account with an API key
Msty installed or accessible

Setup

Get Your LLM API Key

Log in to your LLM API dashboard
Click Create Key to Start
Copy your new API key immediately — it will only be shown once
Store the key securely (e.g., in a password manager or .env file)

LLM API is an OpenAI-compatible gateway that gives you access to dozens of AI models through a single API key and endpoint.

Configure LLM API in Msty

Open Msty on your desktop.
Navigate to Settings → "Remote Models" or "API Keys".
Click "Add Provider" and select "OpenAI Compatible".
Enter:
- API Key: paste the key you copied from app.llmapi.ai/api-keys
- Base URL: https://api.llmapi.ai/v1
Add the model IDs you want to use.
Click "Save".

Test the Integration

Verify that Msty can successfully communicate with LLM API by sending a test request. All requests will now be routed through LLM API.

Msty lets you switch between local and LLM API cloud models at any time.

Benefits of Using LLM API with Msty

Multi-Provider Access: Use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more through a single API
Cost Control: Track and limit your AI spending with detailed usage analytics
Unified Billing: One account for all providers instead of managing multiple API keys
Caching: Reduce costs with response caching for repeated requests
