Connect AI (Bring Your Own Key)
Bring your own API key and Serenities calls that AI directly — in the builder chat, your sites, and flows. You pay your provider at their rates; we add no AI markup.
This page is about bringing AI *into* Serenities. You add a provider key and Serenities uses that model.
Want the opposite — to drive Serenities from Claude or another AI tool? That’s MCP: it connects Serenities to an outside tool so the tool can use your databases, sites and flows. See Connect Claude via MCP.
No AI markup
You pay your AI provider directly at their rates. We don’t charge extra for AI usage.
Your keys, your control
Keys are encrypted at rest and shown masked. Test, disable, or delete any key anytime.
Use what you have
Already pay for OpenAI or Claude? Use that same account here — no double paying.

How to connect a key
Get an API key from the provider
Use the “Get key” link on any provider above, sign in, and create a key.
Add it in Serenities → Settings → API Keys
Paste the key next to its provider and save. Serenities validates the key format and lets you test it.
Pick that model in chat, the builder, or a flow
Your connected models become selectable wherever Serenities uses AI. Disable or delete a key anytime.
