thv llm setup​

Configure detected AI tools to use the LLM gateway

Synopsis​

Detect installed AI coding tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, VS Code, Xcode) and patch each tool's configuration to route through the LLM gateway.

Token-helper tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI) are configured to call "thv llm token" to obtain a fresh OIDC token on demand.

Proxy-mode tools (Cursor, VS Code, Xcode) are configured to send requests to the localhost reverse proxy started by "thv llm proxy start".

Use --client to configure only a single named tool instead of all detected tools. An error is returned if the named client is not installed.

Inline flags (--gateway-url, --issuer, --client-id, etc.) are applied for this run and persisted to config only after login and tool patching succeed. This lets you combine "config set" and "setup" into a single command.

Run "thv llm teardown" to revert all changes.

thv llm setup [flags]

Options​

--anthropic-path-prefix string Path prefix appended to the gateway URL when writing ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL for direct-mode tools (e.g. /anthropic). When omitted, the gateway is probed automatically.
--audience string OIDC audience (optional)
--callback-port int OIDC callback port (omit to keep current; default: ephemeral)
--client string Configure only this AI tool by name (e.g. claude-code, cursor). Omit to configure all detected tools.
--client-id string OIDC client ID
--gateway-url string LLM gateway base URL (must use HTTPS)
-h, --help help for setup
--issuer string OIDC issuer URL
--lazy Skip the interactive OIDC login and defer it until the first time a configured tool accesses the gateway. Tool config and persisted settings are written normally. Useful for unattended provisioning (e.g. an MDM profile).
--proxy-port int Localhost proxy listen port (omit to keep current; default: 14000)
--skip-browser Print the OIDC authorization URL instead of opening a browser, then wait for the callback. Use in headless/SSH/CI environments where no system browser is available.
--tls-skip-verify Skip TLS certificate verification for the upstream gateway (local dev only). For direct-mode tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI) this sets NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0, disabling TLS for ALL of that tool's outbound connections. For proxy-mode tools only the proxy-to-gateway connection is affected.
