Apollo AI can be integrated into various developer tools to enhance your workflow. This guide covers how to set up integrations with popular IDEs and command-line interfaces.

​
Cursor IDE

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor that allows you to use custom models via an OpenAI-compatible interface.

​
Steps to Integrate:

  1. Open Cursor Settings (gear icon in the top right or Cmd+Shift+J / Ctrl+Shift+J).
  2. Navigate to Models.
  3. Click + Add Model and enter your preferred model ID from the Models List (e.g., gpt-oss-120b).
  4. Toggle on OpenAI-compatible.
  5. Set the Base URL to https://apolloai.lol/v1.
  6. Enter your Apollo AI API Key in the API Key field.
[!NOTE] Since Apollo AI uses specific endpoints, ensure your tool supports custom request mapping if v1/chat/completions is not automatically handled by our gateway.

​
Continue (VS Code & JetBrains)

Continue is an open-source AI extension that supports highly customizable providers.

​
Configuration (config.json):

Add a custom provider to your config.json file: 
{
  "models": [
    {
      "title": "Apollo AI - GPT OSS",
      "model": "gpt-oss-120b",
      "apiBase": "https://apolloai.lol/v1",
      "apiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
      "provider": "openai"
    }
  ]
}

​
CLI Tools

Apollo AI can be used with various AI-powered CLIs that support custom endpoints.

​
Claude Code

Claude Code can be configured to use Apollo AI by redirecting its base URL. Setup:
  1. Set the ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL environment variable to https://apolloai.lol/v1.
  2. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to your Apollo API Key.
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://apolloai.lol/v1"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your_apollo_key"

​
OpenCode

Integration with OpenCode is handled via its configuration file. Setup:
  1. Open or create opencode.json in your project or global config directory.
  2. Add or update the baseURL for the provider.
{
  "baseURL": "https://apolloai.lol/v1",
  "apiKey": "YOUR_APOLLO_KEY"
}

​
Gemini CLI

For tools using the Gemini CLI ecosystem, you can often use an OpenAI-compatible bridge or set the custom endpoint if the specific CLI build supports it. Setup (using OpenAI-compatible interface):
  • Set GEMINI_API_ENDPOINT or equivalent (depending on the CLI version) to https://apolloai.lol/v1.
  • Use your Apollo API key as the authentication token.

​
Custom Shell Integration

You can also create a simple shell alias to ask questions directly. Add to .bashrc or .zshrc: 
alias apollo-ask='function _apollo() { \
  curl -X POST "https://apolloai.lol/v1/generation/prompt?model=gpt-oss-120b" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APOLLO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"prompt\": \"$1\"}"; \
}; _apollo'
Usage: apollo-ask "How do I reverse a string in Python?"

​
Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during integration:
  • API Key: Ensure your API key is active and has sufficient tier permissions.
  • Endpoint Accuracy: Double-check the Base URL and ensure the model ID exists.
  • Support: Reach out via Support if you need help with a specific tool.
