Tiny GPT-5 lane for routing, extraction, classification, and bulk jobs
Cloudflare AI Gateway sits between your apps and AI providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and DeepSeek, adding caching, rate limiting, logging, and analytics across all of them. Its unified OpenAI-compatible endpoint lets one Cloudflare API token reach models from every provider.
Store your provider keys in the gateway or use Cloudflare's Unified Billing to pay per token, then connect TypingMind with an authentication token created inside your gateway.
See the official Cloudflare AI Gateway documentation for more details.

Complete Setup Guide
Get Your Cloudflare AI Gateway API Key
First, you'll need to obtain an API key from Cloudflare AI Gateway. This key allows you to access their AI models directly and pay only for what you use.
-
Go to Cloudflare AI Gateway. Sign up for a Cloudflare account first if you don't have one.
-
Click Create custom gateway.
-
Enter a Gateway ID, for example
typingmind, and create the gateway. This is your<GATEWAY_ID>.
-
Open the new gateway and create an authentication token with the AI Gateway Run permission. Copy the token right away. This is your
<CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN>.
-
Go to dash.cloudflare.com and copy your Account ID from the page URL. For example, in
https://dash.cloudflare.com/38cms9x0cms9jg7239fdsc8c8cccd/home, the Account ID is38cms9x0cms9jg7239fdsc8c8cccd. This is your<ACCOUNT_ID>.
Sometimes, this provider will require you to add a payment method to your account before you can use your API key to chat with AI. So, to avoid any hiccups, make sure you've got a payment method set up and ready to go!
Important: Keep your API key secure and never share it publicly. Store it safely as you'll need it to connect with TypingMind.
