baseUrl at https://api.tokios.com/v1, and reach any model behind your connector — without that model’s port ever being exposed.
Prerequisites
- A running Tokios connector paired with your local model — see Connector install
- A registered deployment — see Register a model
- A Tokios API key (
sk-tok-…) — see API keys - omp installed:
Find your deployment name
omp sends the deployment name — the public name you registered in the console — not the upstream model id your local backend uses. The 2 are often different strings, and confusing them is the most common cause of a 404. List the deployments your API key can reach:id in the response is a value you can use in models.yml.
Where omp keeps its config
omp reads 2 files from a dot-prefixed.omp directory in your home folder:
Configure a custom provider
Paste this intomodels.yml and replace the 2 placeholder values. It is a complete file, not a fragment:
models.yml
models for each:
models.yml
Replace
gemma-tunnel with a deployment name from GET /v1/models — not the upstream model id your backend (Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, or LM Studio) serves, and not the Routes[].Model value in your connector config, which is the upstream id. Replace sk-tok-YOUR_KEY with your own key, and avoid committing models.yml with a real key into version control.omp.sh/docs). Start with the minimal block above — once omp lists your model under /model, add the optional fields below.
Route a role to your model (optional)
omp maps named roles to models, each with an optional fallback chain. Point a role at your Tokios provider insettings.yml using provider/model syntax:
settings.yml
/model command inside omp’s TUI.
Match the context window (optional)
omp sizes its prompts from the model’s context window. Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio, and vLLM each serve the context length the model was loaded with, not the model’s theoretical maximum, so tell omp the real number:Prefer the Anthropic surface? (optional)
omp can also speak the Anthropic messages protocol. To route through Tokios’s Anthropic surface instead, setapi to anthropic-messages and drop the /v1 from baseUrl — Anthropic-style clients use the root base.
Pick a tool-capable model
omp’s agent relies on tool calling to read files, run commands, and edit code. Not every local model handles tool calls reliably — pick a deployment backed by a model with strong tool-calling support before you rely on omp for real edits. See Choose a model by task for guidance on matching a model to agentic coding work.Troubleshooting
Tokios doesn't appear in /model
Tokios doesn't appear in /model
omp isn’t reading your file. Confirm it sits at
~/.omp/agent/models.yml — the directory is .omp, with a leading dot, and on Windows that resolves to C:\Users\<you>\.omp\agent\models.yml. Also confirm the file is valid YAML: providers is a mapping keyed by provider name, and models is a list.401 error
401 error
The API key omp sent is missing, malformed, or has been revoked. Confirm
apiKey holds the full sk-tok-… key with no extra whitespace, and check its status on the Keys tab. A working Playground session does not rule this out — the Playground doesn’t use your API key.404 error
404 error
The model
id under models doesn’t match a registered deployment. Run GET /v1/models and copy an id from the response exactly. A common near-miss is using the upstream model id from your connector’s Routes[].Model instead of the deployment name.403 error
403 error
The key exists but isn’t scoped to the deployment you configured, or your account is suspended. Check the key’s model patterns on the Keys tab.
503 error
503 error
The connector for that deployment is offline or at its concurrency cap. Check the Connectors tab — the connector needs to show as Online, and the machine running it needs to still be up and reachable.

omp is sending more context than your backend loaded. Set
contextWindow on the model entry to the context length your server is actually serving, and confirm the load-time setting in Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio, or vLLM.Next steps
Pi
omp is a fork of Pi — the upstream agent connects to Tokios the same way.
