Add a provider key

Provider keys are your organization's own API keys — OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Gemini. They let tools that can't use a personal subscription (Cursor's managed mode, the Copilot CLI) run on your account instead.

Providers → Add Provider, choose the type, paste the key.

How the key is handled

It is encrypted before it reaches storage and never shown again — the screen only displays the last four characters afterwards. If you lose the original, issue a new key at the provider and replace it here.

Azure OpenAI and regions

If the Azure region you enter differs from your Sentilai region, the screen warns you. It's a warning rather than a block: routing EU traffic through a US deployment may be exactly what you intended, but it should be a decision rather than an accident.

Removing a key

Remove stops any tool relying on it. Developers on subscription mode are unaffected — their own plan pays for their requests, which is the point of subscription-safe governance.
