Quickstart

Three steps: grab a key, point any OpenAI-compatible client at https://api.mikancloud.com/v1, send a request.

1. 1

   Create an API key

2. 2

   Sign in, open Dashboard → API Keys, click New key. The full secret is shown once in the format sk-mk-…. Copy it now — we only store an argon2 hash.

3. 3
4. 4

   Send a request

5. 5

   The endpoint is OpenAI-shape, so any client that speaks OpenAI Chat Completions works. Set the base URL and you're done.

6. 6
   curlpython · openai sdknode · openai sdk

   curl https://api.mikancloud.com/v1/chat/completions \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $MIKAN_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "model": "deepseek-v3.2",
       "stream": true,
       "messages": [
         {"role": "user", "content": "Explain SSE in two sentences."}
       ]
     }'

7. 7

   Use it from Cursor

8. 8

   Open Cursor → Settings → Models. Add a custom OpenAI-compatible model with:

9. 9
   • Base URL — https://api.mikancloud.com/v1
   • API Key — your sk-mk-… secret
   • Model — deepseek-v3.2
10. 10

    Toggle the new model on. Inline edits, chat, and Cmd-K all flow through Mikan.

What it costs

Each request decrements your wallet by (prompt_tokens × in_rate + completion_tokens × out_rate). The 7-day token & cost graph on your dashboard updates in near-real-time.
