# LLM Providers

> Add and manage API keys for supported LLM providers.

## Overview

Aster Agents lets you bring your own model credentials. Add API keys and endpoints for services such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Azure OpenAI, or any custom HTTP model.

## Adding a provider

1. Navigate to **Providers** in your dashboard
2. Click **Add Provider** and pick a service.
3. Enter the required fields (API key, base URL, deployment name, etc.).
4. Hit **Save**. Credentials are encrypted at rest.

## Supported fields

| Provider         | Required                           | Optional                           |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **OpenAI**       | API key                            | Base URL (for open-source proxies) |
| **Azure OpenAI** | API key, Endpoint, Deployment name | API version                        |
| **Anthropic**    | API key                            | —                                  |
| **Google**       | API key                            | —                                  |
| **AWS Bedrock**  | Access key, Secret key, Region     | Model ID                           |

> ⚠️  Agents inherit provider credentials at runtime. Make sure to set sensible usage limits and monitor spend in each provider dashboard.

## Rotating keys

1. Click the **•••** menu next to a provider.
2. Choose **Rotate Key** and paste the new credential.
3. Confirm – agents using that key will pick up the change immediately.

## Removing a provider

Deleting a provider breaks any model instance that depends on it. Double-check agent configurations before removal.
