iBlueprint lets you bring your own API keys for any supported AI provider and use those connections inside Blueprint nodes. Each connection is stored securely and can be shared with teammates or your organization so everyone draws from the same pool of credentials — no copying keys across accounts.

​
Supported providers

iBlueprint supports the following AI providers out of the box:

OpenAI

GPT-4o, GPT-4, GPT-3.5, embeddings, DALL·E, Whisper, and more.

Anthropic

Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, Haiku, and future Claude models.

Google Gemini

Gemini 1.5 Pro, Flash, and the full Gemini model family.

Ollama

Self-hosted open-source models via a local or remote Ollama instance.

​
Add an AI connection

1

Open AI Connections

Go to Settings → AI Connections and click Add connection.
2

Choose a provider

Select your AI provider from the dropdown. For Ollama, you will also need to supply a Base URL pointing to your Ollama instance (for example, http://localhost:11434).
3

Enter your API key

Paste your API key into the API key field. iBlueprint encrypts this value at rest and never exposes it in the UI after saving.
4

Fill in optional fields

  • Base URL — override the provider’s default endpoint (useful for Azure OpenAI deployments or Ollama).
  • Description — a short note so you can identify this connection later.
  • Tags — free-form labels for grouping connections (for example, production, team-alpha).
  • Expiry date — automatically deactivate the connection on a specific date.
5

Save and test

Click Save. iBlueprint will immediately test the connection and report whether the key is valid. You can re-run this test at any time from the connection detail page.
You can add multiple connections for the same provider — for example, separate keys for development and production, or keys scoped to different teams.

​
Share a connection

By default, a connection belongs only to you. You can share it with individual teammates or with an entire organization, and choose what they are allowed to do with it. To share a connection:
  1. Open the connection from Settings → AI Connections.
  2. Click Share.
  3. Search for a user or select an organization.
  4. Choose a share type and an optional expiry date or maximum usage count.
  5. Click Confirm.
Share at the use level for most teammates. Reserve manage for team leads who need to rotate keys.

​
Track usage

Every time a Blueprint node calls an AI provider through a connection, iBlueprint records the event. From the connection detail page you can see:
  • Total API calls over time
  • Tokens consumed per call
  • Estimated cost per call
  • Which Blueprints used the connection and when
  • Any error responses returned by the provider
Use this data to spot runaway Blueprints, attribute costs to projects, or verify that a key is still active before rotating it.

​
Manage Ollama (self-hosted)

Ollama connections work the same way as cloud providers, with two differences:
  • API key — Ollama does not require an API key by default. You can enter any non-empty string (for example, ollama) to satisfy the field.
  • Base URL — you must supply the full URL to your Ollama server, including the port.
If your Ollama instance is only accessible on your local network, Blueprints running on iBlueprint’s cloud will not be able to reach it. Expose your Ollama server on a public URL or use a tunneling tool before adding the connection.
