OpenAI API Compatible
Connect to other AI vendors that are compatible with the OpenAI API standard.
We try to keep the list of officially supported vendors quite short, but that does not mean you can’t integrate Novelcrafter with your favourite AI provider!
Try to see if they offer an “OpenAI API compatible” endpoint. These usually end with /v1
in their BaseURL.
To connect to them inside of Novelcrafter, open your AI connection settings, and add a “OpenAI Compatible” connection.
Take note, that sometimes, the model list that gets returned by the AI vendor requires you to set up a custom model collection, as their names are different to the regular model names.
If the provider does not support the /models
endpoint it can currently not be used.

Unsupported Providers
Even though some providers offer OpenAI SDK compatability, they are incompatible with Novelcrafter.
Anthropic / Claude Console
Anthropic has an OpenAI SDK compatible endpoint that cannot be reached from your browser. As such, you need to set up an in-between proxy if you want to use it:
- Managed: You can use OpenRouter’s BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) service to connect to Anthropic.
- Manual set up: Use a self-hosted service like LiteLLM.
