# Continue + minirouter

Verification status: UNVERIFIED DRAFT
Confirm the current client fields and run the verification request before relying on this configuration.

Draft model entry for Continue's YAML configuration in VS Code and JetBrains.

Get a key: https://minirouter.sh/key

## Settings

~/.continue/config.yaml (or the gear icon → Configure)

1. provider: openai
   Continue's generic OpenAI-compatible provider.

   Never append /chat/completions.
3. apiKey: mr-live-… (your key)

## Draft configuration

config.yaml — unverified draft

```
models:
  - name: Llama 3.3 70B (minirouter)
    provider: openai
    model: meta/llama-3.3-70b
    apiBase: https://api.minirouter.sh/v1
    apiKey: mr-live-YOUR-KEY-HERE
    roles: [chat, edit, apply]
  - name: Devstral Small 2 (minirouter)
    provider: openai
    model: mistral/devstral-small-2
    apiBase: https://api.minirouter.sh/v1
    apiKey: mr-live-YOUR-KEY-HERE
    roles: [chat, edit, apply, autocomplete]
```

## Recommended models

Only use a model after confirming it appears in the live model catalog at https://minirouter.sh/api/v1/models.

- mistral/devstral-small-2: Coding-oriented candidate for edits and tool calls.
- meta/llama-3.3-70b: General-purpose candidate for agent tasks.
- deepseek/deepseek-v3: Reasoning-oriented candidate for multi-step work.
- meta/llama-4-maverick: Long-context candidate for larger repositories.

## Troubleshooting

### 404, HTML, or a parse error on every request

Almost always the base URL. Use https://api.minirouter.sh/v1 — the bare host without /v1 also works, but never append /chat/completions to the base URL field; the client adds that path itself.

Error reference: https://minirouter.sh/docs/errors#invalid_request

### 401 on every request

Wrong or rotated key. Keys start with mr-live-; after a rotation the old key keeps working for 24 hours, then dies.

Error reference: https://minirouter.sh/docs/errors#invalid_api_key

### 402 before any tokens arrive

Balance below the estimated cost of the request. Top up ($5 minimum) — and watch the x-minirouter-balance-usd header, the low-balance signal every response carries.

Error reference: https://minirouter.sh/docs/errors#insufficient_credits

### Autocomplete is slow or absent

If your installed version supports a separate autocomplete role, choose a suitable model from the current live catalog.
