Agent & Tools Overview

NovaAPI is compatible with both the OpenAI and Anthropic API protocols, so it can serve as the model backend for coding agents and Agent frameworks alike. Whether you use a command-line coding assistant or build your own tool-orchestration app, just point the endpoint at NovaAPI to call any provider's models with a single balance.

1. Coding Agent CLIs

Point a command-line agent's endpoint at NovaAPI for unified billing and free model switching:

• Claude Code: Anthropic protocol, set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL
• Codex: OpenAI protocol, edit ~/.codex/config.toml
• OpenClaw: OpenAI-compatible, set base_url
• Hermes: OpenAI-compatible, set base_url
• WorkBuddy / CodeBuddy: OpenAI-compatible, custom model via models.json

General Notes

1. OpenAI protocol: set base_url to https://api.novaapis.com/v1
2. Anthropic protocol: set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to https://api.novaapis.com (no /v1)
3. Key: use the Key generated in the NovaAPI console (starts with sk-)
4. Model: choose a model that supports tool calling; see the model list for exact names
