description	Start using the Morpheus Inference API in under 5 minutes

Quickstart

Get started with the Morpheus Inference API in just a few minutes. The API is fully OpenAI-compatible, meaning you can use existing OpenAI SDKs and tools with just a base URL change.

**Base URL:** `https://api.mor.org/api/v1`

Authentication: Bearer token (your API key)

Step 1: Get Your API Key

1. Go to app.mor.org
2. Create an account or sign in
3. Click Create API Key and copy it immediately

Your API key won't be shown again after creation. Store it securely.

Step 2: Make Your First Request

The Morpheus Inference API is fully OpenAI-compatible. Simply change the base URL and use your Morpheus API key.

```bash curl https://api.mor.org/api/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "model": "llama-3.3-70b", "messages": [ {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"} ] }' ``` ```python from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI( api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", base_url="https://api.mor.org/api/v1" )

response = client.chat.completions.create( model="llama-3.3-70b", messages=[ {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"} ] )

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Install the OpenAI SDK: `pip install openai`
</Tab>

<Tab title="JavaScript">
```javascript
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  baseURL: "https://api.mor.org/api/v1",
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "llama-3.3-70b",
  messages: [
    { role: "user", content: "Hello!" }
  ],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Install the OpenAI SDK: npm install openai

```typescript import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({ apiKey: process.env.MORPHEUS_API_KEY!, baseURL: "https://api.mor.org/api/v1", });

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({ model: "llama-3.3-70b", messages: [ { role: "user", content: "Hello!" } ], });

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Install the OpenAI SDK: `npm install openai`
</Tab>
</Tabs>

## OpenAI Compatibility

The Morpheus Inference API implements the OpenAI API specification, ensuring compatibility with existing OpenAI clients and tools. You can switch from OpenAI to Morpheus with just two changes:

| Setting | OpenAI | Morpheus |
|---------|--------|----------|
| Base URL | `https://api.openai.com/v1` | `https://api.mor.org/api/v1` |
| API Key | `sk-...` (OpenAI key) | `sk-...` (Morpheus key) |

<Tip>
Any application that supports "OpenAI-compatible" APIs can work with Morpheus. This includes Cursor, Continue, LangChain, and hundreds of other tools.

    ],
