Kilo Code settings for ScaleMax
Enter these values in Kilo Code. A Pay as you go key and a token pack key use different base URLs — use the one that matches the key you bought.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Provider ID / Display name | scalemax / ScaleMax |
| Provider API | OpenAI Compatible |
| Base URL | https://api.scalemax.pro/v1 (Pay as you go key) or https://api.scalemax.pro/token/v1 (token pack key) |
| API key | Your ScaleMax key |
| Models | Pick from the list Kilo fetches, or type an exact ID |
Step by step
- Open Kilo Code settings (the gear icon) and go to the Providers tab.
- Scroll to the bottom and choose “Custom provider”.
- Set Provider API to OpenAI Compatible, paste the ScaleMax base URL and your key.
- Kilo queries /v1/models with that key and shows the models it includes. Pick one or more and submit.
- Select the new provider and model in the chat panel and send a short test message.
Installer support
The ScaleMax installer does not configure Kilo Code yet. The setup below is manual and takes about a minute.

Good to know
- The model list Kilo fetches is scoped to your key, so it shows exactly what you can call.
- Token limits and tool settings for a custom provider live in Kilo’s kilo.jsonc file, per Kilo’s documentation.
Troubleshooting
- The model picker stays empty
- Check the base URL ends in /v1 (or /token/v1 for a token pack) and that the key is pasted in full, then use “Fetch models” to retry.
- A model returns 403
- That model is not included in your key. Choose one from the fetched list.
