Go to: **Help > Troubleshooting > Enable Developer Mode**

A new **Developer** section will appear in the top-right menu.

Click the menu again, go to **Developer > Configure Third-Party Inference**.

A dialog will open. Fill it in exactly like this:

| Field | What to select / enter |

| 2. Credential kind | Static API Key |
| 3. Gateway Base URL | (paste from your platform's dashboard) |

Model discovery — Gateway /v1/models was unreachable: The operation was aborted due to timeout The connection test needs at least one model — add entries under Models to skip discovery, or fix the provider's model list endpoint.

After signing up on any platform above, go to their dashboard and look for an **API Keys** or **Developer** section. You need two things:

**API Key**— usually starts with`sk-`

**Base URL**— Copy the Base URL for whichever platform you signed up on and paste it into the** Gateway Base URL**field in Claude Desktop.

| Sl. | Platform | Gateway Base URL |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Agent Router | `https://agentrouter.org/` |
| 2 | SeekAI | `https://seekai.cc/` |
| 3 | KKToken | `https://kktoken.cc/` |
| 4 | JustWoker API | `https://api.justwoker.icu/` |
| 5 | TabiToken | `https://tabitoken.com/` |
| 6 | GoRouter | `https://gorouter.app/` |
| 7 | TokenBoom | `https://tokenbom.com/` |
| 8 | Vyce AI | `https://vyceai.com/` |
| 9 | TrueSOTA | `https://true-sota.com/` |
| 10 | Liminality | `https://beizhi.sylu.cc/` |

Your API key comes from each platform's dashboard after signup. The Base URL + API key is all you need for Step 3.

Credits ran out? Go back to **Developer > Configure Third-Party Inference**, swap in the Base URL and API Key from another platform on the list, test, and apply. Takes 30 seconds.

*Credit amounts and daily rewards are subject to each platform's terms. Verify current offers on their dashboards after signup.*
