Configure Compatible API Providers

Configure a compatible API provider when supported by the plugin.

The plugin includes an OpenAI-compatible provider layer for DeepSeek, Groq, and OpenRouter. This lets the WordPress AI Client request text-generation models through each provider’s compatible API. It is not a general-purpose screen for registering an arbitrary custom endpoint.

Providers included in the compatibility layer

  • DeepSeek: uses the provider API at https://api.deepseek.com.
  • Groq: uses the provider API at https://api.groq.com/openai/v1.
  • OpenRouter: uses the provider API at https://openrouter.ai/api/v1.

Configure a supported provider

  1. Add the provider’s chat action to a workflow, or attach its chat model to an AI Agent.
  2. Enter the API key for that provider when the editor requests it.
  3. Wait for the plugin to validate the key and retrieve the current text-generation model list.
  4. Select a model returned by the provider, then configure the prompt and workflow inputs.
  5. Save and test the workflow. Check the output and any provider error before relying on the result.

Can I enter my own API endpoint?

The inspected implementation registers the three named compatible providers with fixed base URLs. It does not expose a general custom base-URL field in the workflow configuration. Do not enter a different endpoint unless a future plugin version explicitly adds support for it.
