baseURL and API key — nothing else.
1
Create an account
Sign up at app.metrixllm.com and create your first Workspace.A workspace is an isolated environment with its own API keys, logs, and routing rules. A common setup is one workspace per environment:
Production, Staging, Development.2
Add a provider key
MetrixLLM uses Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) — you connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or other provider credentials.
- In your workspace, go to Settings → Providers
- Click Add Provider
- Select the provider and paste your API key
- Click Save
3
Create a MetrixLLM API key
- In your workspace, click API Keys in the sidebar
- Click Create API Key
- Name it (e.g.
Backend - Production) - Copy the key — it starts with
mtx_and is shown only once

base_url and api_key in your existing code. Everything else stays the same.5
