Choose an integration mode

Proxy mode (/v1/chat/completions): best when tools expect OpenAI-compatible APIs.
MCP mode: best when your IDE supports MCP natively.
Context-only mode (/v1/context): best when your agent handles model routing and only needs context.
Python SDK: best for scripts and custom automation.

See Integrations for details.
