--- title: "Coding Agents Overview" description: "Choose the right Aurora integration path for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and other coding agents." icon: "bot" ---
Overview
Aurora can sit between coding agents and upstream model providers. The right integration path depends on the API shape the agent expects.
Recommended paths
Why use Aurora with agents
Aurora gives operators one control plane for:
- model aliases and safe model swaps
- per-team budgets and usage analytics
- audit logs for agent activity
- guardrails and workflow policy
- fallback, resilience, and provider pools
- managed keys instead of shared provider secrets
Setup pattern
- Configure at least one upstream provider.
- Create stable aliases for agent-facing model names.
- Issue a managed API key for the agent or team.
- Bind the key to a
user_pathsuch as/agents/codex/team-alpha. - Point the agent base URL at Aurora.
- Verify requests in usage and audit logs.
See the dedicated Claude Code, Codex, and OpenAI-format agent guides for tool-specific examples.
