AI Providers

Foxl supports multiple AI providers. You can use Foxl credits through the cloud relay, or bring your own API keys for direct access.

Default: Foxl Relay

By default, Foxl routes AI requests through the cloud relay at relay.foxl.ai. This uses your Foxl credits and provides access to Claude models via AWS Bedrock.

No configuration needed - sign in and start chatting.

OAuth Providers (Subscription Login)

Use your existing Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT subscriptions directly in Foxl - no API key needed. Foxl reads OAuth credentials created by each vendor's login flow.

Gemini CLI (Google AI)

Use your Google AI subscription or API key.

1. Install: npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
2. Authenticate: gemini auth login or set GEMINI_API_KEY
3. Select Gemini CLI in Settings > Providers

Models: Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Flash. Credentials from ~/.gemini/settings.json or environment variable.

Claude Code (Anthropic Pro/Max)

Use your Claude Pro or Claude Max subscription. Foxl calls api.anthropic.com directly with your Claude Code OAuth token - no CLI subprocess.

1. Run the official login once inside Claude Code: claude /login (or claude setup-token)
2. Select Claude Code (OAuth) in Settings > Providers, then pick Opus 4.7 or Sonnet 4.6 from the model selector

Models: Opus 4.7 and Sonnet 4.6 are exposed in compatibility mode so requests route through your Claude Pro/Max subscription instead of pay-as-you-go "Extra usage". Tokens auto-refresh in the background.

OpenAI (ChatGPT Plus/Pro)

Use your ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription - Foxl calls OpenAI's Codex Responses API directly with your OAuth token. No local CLI subprocess or proxy server needed.

1. Run the official login once: npx @openai/codex login (creates ~/.codex/auth.json)
2. Select OpenAI (OAuth) in Settings > Providers

Models: GPT-5.5 (1M context), GPT-5.4 (1M context), GPT-5.4 Mini (400K), GPT-5.3 Codex (400K). The live catalog is fetched from Codex per account, so your actual selection may differ slightly based on what ChatGPT rolls out to your tier. Tokens auto-refresh in the background via the OAuth refresh flow.

Image generation is available through the generate_image tool (powered by gpt-image-2), which uses the same OAuth credentials. See Agent Tools - Media for details.

AWS Bedrock

For users with their own AWS account and Bedrock access.

1. Configure AWS credentials (~/.aws/credentials or environment variables)

3. Ensure the models you want are enabled in your AWS Bedrock console

Provider Health Check

The Settings > Providers page shows the status of each configured provider:

• Connected: Provider is reachable and API key is valid
• Error: API key is invalid or provider is unreachable
• Not configured: No API key entered

Model Switching

You can switch between models and providers at any time using the model selector in the chat input area. Your selection persists across conversations.
