Connect a cloud LLM provider
2 min · 5 steps
Avery NXR supports 7 cloud providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Google AI Studio, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, HuggingFace.
Each provider has its own credential shape: Anthropic/OpenAI/Google take an API key, Azure adds an endpoint URL, Bedrock takes an access key + secret + region. All credentials live in your OS keychain and never travel to Avery's servers.
Steps
- Open Settings → AI → Cloud providers.
The grid lists every supported provider. Frontier APIs are at the top; hosted services below.
- Click 'Connect' on the provider you want.
The card expands to show the credential form. Fields are driven by the provider's metadata — masked password inputs for API keys + secret keys, plain text for region / endpoint.
- Paste your credentials.
For Anthropic / OpenAI / Google, just the API key. For Azure OpenAI, both the endpoint URL and the API key. For Bedrock, the region + access-key-id + secret-access-key.
- Click 'Test connection'.
Avery pings the provider's identity endpoint and confirms the credentials work. A green checkmark + identity label means you're good to go.
- (Optional) Fetch models.
Click 'Fetch models' to cache the provider's model catalogue. The dropdown then shows every available model with pricing if the provider exposes it.
