Local-first developer infrastructure
Your AI keys.
One local endpoint.
KeyKing AI is a local AI API key manager and multi-provider gateway. Store provider credentials in an encrypted vault on your computer, connect tools to one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and automatically move to the next provider when a route fails.
Encrypted locally
Provider keys are stored in an AES-256-GCM encrypted local vault.
One compatible API
Point OpenAI-compatible clients at http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1.
Priority fallback
Define an ordered ladder of explicit provider and model pairs.
How the local gateway works
- 1. Add keys: save your user-supplied provider credentials in the desktop vault.
- 2. Configure routes: order provider/model pairs in your Priority Ladder.
- 3. Connect once: use KeyKing's local base URL in a compatible SDK or coding agent.
- 4. Fail over: when an eligible route is rate-limited or unavailable, KeyKing tries the next configured route.
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1",

});Frequently asked questions
What is an AI API key manager?
An AI API key manager stores and organizes credentials used to call model providers. KeyKing AI combines local encrypted storage with a gateway, so applications call one local endpoint instead of handling every provider key directly.
Do my provider keys go to KeyKing servers?
The desktop workflow is designed around a local encrypted vault and local proxy. The proxy decrypts the selected credential locally when it needs to call the upstream provider.
Can one endpoint use several providers?
Yes. OpenAI-compatible clients can point at the local KeyKing endpoint while the Priority Ladder selects and fails over between configured provider/model pairs.
Does KeyKing provide free model tokens?
No. KeyKing routes through credentials and quotas you supply. You can include providers or models that offer you a free tier, but KeyKing does not create unlimited third-party usage.
