# Create Provider Config

`POST /v1/provider-configs/`

Create a new provider configuration.

## Request body

- ProviderConfigCreate — Payload for creating an LLM provider configuration.
  - `api_key` string, nullable — Secret API key for the provider. Stored encrypted in the secret manager; never returned in responses. May be empty for proxies that accept keyless traffic — the backend suppresses the Authorization header when this is empty.
  - `description` string, nullable — Optional human-readable description of this configuration.
  - `endpoint_url` string, nullable — Optional custom endpoint URL (e.g. for self-hosted or proxied providers). Leave unset to use the provider's default.
  - `is_public` boolean — If True, the configuration is visible to all workspace members; otherwise it is scoped to the creator.
  - `name` string, required — Human-readable label for this provider configuration.
  - `provider_spec_id` string, uuid, required — UUID of the provider specification (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic) this configuration targets. Look up via list_specs.
