# Developer Tools (/docs/development/developer-tools)



BullSequana AI can be used from developer tools that support OpenAI-compatible APIs.

The recommended integration pattern is always the same:

* point the tool to the `CoreAI API`
* authenticate with a JWT or `sk-bsq-...` API key
* avoid direct dependence on internal platform components such as `LiteLLM`

Recommended Base URL Pattern [#recommended-base-url-pattern]

```bash
https://llm-backend.<platform-domain>/v1
```

Where `<platform-domain>` is the DNS domain of the target cluster or environment.

This keeps the public entry point stable even when the cluster or environment changes.

Authentication [#authentication]

For interactive or short-lived usage, JWT can be enough.

For local developer workflows and reusable tool configuration, API keys are usually the better fit.

Start here if you need the authentication flow first:
