Add Provider Keys

Add Provider Keys

Cencori routes your requests to AI providers using your own API keys. This is called "Bring Your Own Keys" (BYOK).

Why BYOK?

  • ✓You control your AI spend directly with providers
  • ✓Use your existing API keys and quotas
  • ✓Switch providers without changing your Cencori code
  • ✓Your keys are encrypted at rest
