Aider with idapt

Two environment variables and a model flag put Aider on any catalog model.

Last reviewed 2026-07-17

Point it at idapt

bash
export OPENAI_API_BASE="https://idapt.app/api/openai/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="$IDAPT_API_KEY"
aider --model openai/deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro

Aider's openai/ prefix picks the wire protocol; the rest is the catalog model id.

Pitfalls

The double prefix is required

aider --model openai/<catalog-id>: without the openai/ prefix Aider tries to infer the provider and fails on catalog slugs.
