Roo Code

Roo Code (the VS Code extension descended from Cline) ships a built-in "OpenAI Compatible" provider for exactly this kind of custom gateway. Point it at Tempr and every model on your allowlist — Claude, GPT, Gemini, whatever you've configured — becomes available through one provider entry instead of one per vendor.

  1. Create a virtual key

    In the Portal, create a Gateway virtual key. Keys are prefixed tvk_ and shown once at creation.

  2. Add a provider key

    Gateway is BYOK: add a key for at least one provider from the supported list.

  3. Configure Roo Code

    Open the Roo Code settings panel, set API Provider to OpenAI Compatible, Base URL to https://api.temprhq.io/v1, and API Key to your virtual key.

  4. Choose a model

    Enter a model id in the fully-qualified provider/model form, e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5, whatever is on your virtual key's allowlist.
