A complete guide to create your account and connect Kilo, Codex CLI, and Claude Code — so they can search the web for current information.
This process uses two different web addresses with completely different purposes. This is the most common source of mistakes, so please note them first.
| Purpose | Address |
|---|---|
| 1 Register your account & manage keys (web portal) | https://litellm.feedmob.ai |
| 2 The “service address” you enter into each AI tool | https://litellm-api.feedmob.ai |
Your account must be created via an invitation from the administrator, Rao. Please contact her and let her know you need a LiteLLM account. You will then receive an invitation email.
Find the invitation email in your inbox, click the registration link inside, and fill in the requested information to complete sign-up.
https://litellm.feedmob.aimy-key. Leave the other options at their defaults.sk-.sk- key immediately and store it somewhere safe
(e.g. a password manager). Once the page is closed you usually cannot view it in full again.
Wherever you see sk-xxxxxxxx below, it stands for your real key.Below are the setup instructions for three common tools. You only need to configure the one
you actually use — you don't have to do all three. The model name is always
minimax/minimax-m3.
Kilo is an AI assistant inside VSCode. We recommend adding the service through its graphical interface first, then adjusting settings as needed.
sk-xxxxxxxx key.https://litellm-api.feedmob.ai/v1
If you need options not available in the UI (such as image recognition), edit the config file
~/.config/kilo/kilo.jsonc using the example below:
{
"model": "litellm/minimax-m3",
"provider": {
"litellm": {
"name": "LiteLLM",
"npm": "@ai-sdk/openai",
"options": {
"baseURL": "https://litellm-api.feedmob.ai/v1",
"timeout": 300000
},
"models": {
"minimax-m3": {
"id": "minimax/minimax-m3",
"name": "MiniMax M3",
"tool_call": true,
"reasoning": true,
"attachment": true,
"modalities": { "input": ["text", "image"], "output": ["text"] }
}
}
}
}
}
litellm (matching what you added in the UI), Kilo will reuse the
key you entered there. Restart VSCode after editing for changes to take effect.Edit the config file ~/.codex/config.toml and add the following:
model = "minimax/minimax-m3"
model_provider = "litellm"
[model_providers.litellm]
name = "litellm"
base_url = "https://litellm-api.feedmob.ai"
wire_api = "responses"
requires_openai_auth = true
env_key = "LL_API_KEY"
Then set your key as an environment variable (we recommend adding it to
~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc so it persists):
export LL_API_KEY="sk-xxxxxxxx"
/v1 — Codex adds it
automatically. After setup, open a new terminal and run codex. If you
see a message like “Model metadata … not found / fallback metadata”, this is a known notice and
does not affect usage.Connect by setting three environment variables (again, we recommend adding them to
~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc):
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://litellm-api.feedmob.ai"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-xxxxxxxx"
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="minimax/minimax-m3"
claude. Its web search
runs through the service address automatically.In whichever tool you configured, ask a question that needs current information, for example:
Search for the latest international oil prices (Brent / WTI).
minimax/minimax-m3.Contact the administrator, Rao, to resend the invitation.
Go back to the Virtual Keys page in the portal
(https://litellm.feedmob.ai), create a new one, and disable the old one.
Almost always because the service address was set to address 1. Change it to address 2.
