SillyTavern

SillyTavern connects to Kyara as a custom OpenAI-compatible chat source. You’ll enter the Kyara base URL, paste your API key, and type a model ID by hand. Have two things ready before you begin:

Your API key from the dashboard.
A model ID from the catalog, for example deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash.

Quick reference

Setting	Value
Base URL	`https://api.kyara-intelligence.com/v1`
Model example	`deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash`

The base URL must end in /v1. Do not add /chat/completions. SillyTavern appends that path for you, so https://api.kyara-intelligence.com/v1/chat/completions will fail.

Set it up

Open API Connections

Click the plug icon in the top bar to open the API Connections panel.

Choose Chat Completion

Set the API dropdown to Chat Completion.

Choose a custom source

Set Chat Completion Source to Custom (OpenAI-compatible).

Enter the base URL

In Custom Endpoint (Base URL), paste:

https://api.kyara-intelligence.com/v1

Paste your API key

In Custom API Key, paste your key from the dashboard, then click the save button next to the field so it sticks.

Enter a model ID

In the Model field, type a model ID from the catalog, for example:

deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash

Connect and test

Click Connect, then Test Message. A ✨ Valid ✨ confirmation means you’re ready to chat.

Troubleshooting

It won't connect

Check these in order:

The base URL ends in /v1 and nothing more.
The key was actually saved. Re-paste it and click the save button again.
The model ID has no typos. Copy it straight from the catalog instead of typing it.

Which model should I use?

Start with deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash for fast, low-cost replies while you get set up. Once it’s working, browse the catalog for larger-context, character-tuned models that better fit your style.

A feature isn't working

Kyara is text-only. Tool calling, image input, and other extras are not available. See unsupported features for the full list.

Check your key first

Before opening SillyTavern, confirm your key works by sending a request from the terminal. A JSON response means your credentials are valid.

curl https://api.kyara-intelligence.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KYARA_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",
    "messages": [
      { "role": "user", "content": "ping" }
    ]
  }'
