Chat

1 min read

Archestra includes a built-in Chat interface that allows users to interact with AI agents using MCP tools. To use Chat, you need to configure LLM provider API keys.

Agent Platform Swarm

API Keys

Chat will use LLM API Keys configured in Settings -> LLM API Keys. When a chat request is made, the system determines which API key to use in this order:

  1. Profile-specific key - If the profile has an API key assigned for the provider, use it
  2. Organization default - Fall back to the organization's default key for that provider
  3. Environment variable - Final fallback to ARCHESTRA_CHAT_<PROVIDER>_API_KEY

Supported Providers

See Supported LLM Providers for the full list.

Security Notes

  • API keys are stored encrypted using the configured secrets manager
  • Keys are never exposed in the UI after creation
  • Profile assignments allow separation of billing/usage across teams
