## Full description

The service exposes four wire formats: Anthropic Messages, OpenAI Responses, OpenAI Chat Completions, and Gemini generateContent. Requests are forwarded as-is without protocol translation, so streaming, tool calls and token usage behave as they do with the official APIs. A one-command setup script writes each supported tool's own config, backs up files it touches, and validates the key. Usage is billed per 1M tokens at the rate shown on each model card, and top-ups receive automatic tiered discounts.
