Get an API key

OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Bring your own SDK.

​

How keys are issued

1. Open malibu.tech/console and choose Sign in with GitHub. Sign-in runs through api.malibu.tech and requests only the read:user GitHub scope, with no repository or organization access.
2. After sign-in, the console issues an API key. Keys start with mp_.
3. The full key is shown once. Copy it immediately. Malibu stores only a hash and cannot show it again.
4. Use the console’s API keys view to create a new key or revoke an old one. A revoked key returns 403 api_key_revoked.

First request

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.malibu.tech/v1",
    api_key="<your-api-key>",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="mlx-community/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-4bit",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.malibu.tech/v1",
  apiKey: process.env.MALIBU_API_KEY,
});

What the API surface covers

• Chat completions with streaming (stream: true) and token-incremental deltas.
• Multi-turn tool calling: first-turn emission, second-turn role: "tool" acceptance, and assistant-history rendering. Validate tool calls before you execute them. See Buyer-side validation.
• Structured output: response_format: {"type": "json_schema", ...} with the OpenAI strict-mode subset.
• Prompt-cache reuse: automatic for repeated scaffolds. Send X-MacProvider-Conversation to prefer the same provider across turns; the cache-hit rate applies when that preference wins. See Sticky conversations.
• Signed receipts: some non-streaming responses carry a v0.3 Ed25519-signed receipt in the X-MacProvider-Receipt header (currently roughly a quarter to a third); streams never do. For the rest, use GET /v1/receipts. Offline verification of current receipts is pending a verifier update.
• Compatibility facades: /v1/responses and /v1/messages (Anthropic Messages) for clients that speak those APIs.
