Running the Proxy
liter-llm api is a drop-in OpenAI-compatible gateway: 22 REST endpoints that
route to 174 providers, with multi-tenant virtual keys, rate limits, budgets,
and cost tracking.
Start it
liter-llm api --config liter-llm-proxy.toml
The proxy auto-discovers liter-llm-proxy.toml in the current directory.
Configuration
[server]
host = "0.0.0.0"
port = 4000
[general]
master_key = "${LITER_LLM_MASTER_KEY}"
# Each [[models]] entry maps a routable name to a provider/model and its key.
[[models]]
name = "gpt-4o"
provider_model = "openai/gpt-4o"
api_key = "${OPENAI_API_KEY}"
[[models]]
name = "claude-sonnet"
provider_model = "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514"
api_key = "${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}"
# Virtual keys scope which configured model names a caller may use.
[[keys]]
key = "sk-team-frontend"
models = ["gpt-4o", "claude-sonnet"]
rpm = 60
tpm = 100000
budget_limit = 50.0
${ENV_VAR} interpolation keeps secrets out of the file.
Call it like OpenAI
curl http://localhost:4000/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk-team-frontend" \
-d '{"model": "gpt-4o", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'
Notes
- Virtual keys scope which models a caller may use and carry their own RPM/TPM
and budget limits; the
master_keyadministers them. - The OpenAPI 3.1 spec is served at
/openapi.json. - Endpoints cover chat, embeddings, images, audio, moderations, files, batches, responses, and model listing.
- Docker:
docker run -p 4000:4000 -e LITER_LLM_MASTER_KEY=sk-key ghcr.io/xberg-io/liter-llm.

liter-llm
Universal LLM API client for 174 providers with native bindings for 14 languages. Use when writing code that calls LLM APIs via liter-llm in Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go, Java, C#, Ruby, PHP, Elixir, WASM, or C, when running the OpenAI-compatible proxy, or when calling LLMs through the MCP server. Covers chat, streaming, tool calling, embeddings, image generation, speech, transcription, moderation, web search, OCR, reranking, provider routing, middleware, and configuration.
liter-llm-using-the-mcp-server
Use when calling LLM APIs through the liter-llm MCP server's 22 tools, and to decide when MCP beats the CLI or SDK. Covers the tool surface, the auto-installing launcher, and authentication.
liter-llm-tool-calling
Use when defining functions/tools for an LLM to call through liter-llm, or requesting structured JSON outputs. Covers tool schemas, tool_calls handling, and response formats.
liter-llm-streaming-responses
Use when streaming tokens incrementally from an LLM via liter-llm over SSE or async iterators. Covers chat_stream, delta handling, and null-content chunks.
liter-llm-embeddings-and-search
Use when generating embeddings, calling the 12 web-search providers, or running OCR over documents with the 4 OCR providers through liter-llm. Covers embed, search, and ocr methods plus reranking.
liter-llm-calling-llms
Use when sending chat completions through liter-llm and routing to a specific provider via the `provider/model` prefix. Covers the chat call shape, provider routing, model_hint, message roles, and error categories.
