Open WebUI talks to Kyara through its built-in OpenAI API connection. Add one connection with the Kyara base URL and your API key, and every model in the catalog shows up in the model picker. No plugins or extra setup required. Before you start, grab your API key from the dashboard.
Quick reference
Use the base URL exactly as shown, ending in /v1. Open WebUI adds /chat/completions for you, so do not include that path yourself.

​
Add the connection

1

Open Admin Settings

Click your profile icon in the bottom left, then open Admin Panel. Go to Settings, then Connections.
2

Add an OpenAI API connection

Under OpenAI API, click the + button to add a new connection.
3

Enter the base URL and key

Set the URL to:
Then paste your Kyara API key into the Key field.
4

Save and verify

Click Save. Open WebUI fetches the model list from Kyara, so the models from the catalog become available right away.
5

Start chatting

Open a new chat, pick a Kyara model such as deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash from the model selector at the top, and send a message.

​
Troubleshooting

Reopen the connection and confirm the URL ends in /v1 with no trailing path, and that the key was saved. Then refresh the page so the model list reloads.
The key is missing or wrong. Re-copy it from the dashboard, paste it into the connection’s Key field, and save again.
Kyara is text-only. Image input, tool calling, and web search are not available. See unsupported features for the full list.

​
Check your key first

If you want to confirm your credentials before touching Open WebUI, send a request straight from the terminal. A JSON response means the key works.
