Michael Suchacz b955e102ff docs: add Mux client configuration (#21888)
Adds a new AI Bridge client configuration page for **Mux** and lists it
in the client compatibility table.

- Add `docs/ai-coder/ai-bridge/clients/mux.md` with a short intro, UI +
env var + `~/.mux/providers.jsonc` examples
- Add Mux to the AI Bridge client compatibility table
- Add the new page to `docs/manifest.json`

Mux

Mux makes it easy to run parallel coding agents, each with its own isolated workspace, from your browser or desktop; it is open source and provider-agnostic. For more background on Mux, see Coder Research.

Mux can be configured to route OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible traffic through AI Bridge by setting a custom provider base URL and using a Coder-issued token for authentication.

Prerequisites

Configuration

OpenAI

  1. Open Mux settings (Cmd+, / Ctrl+,).
  2. Go to ProvidersOpenAI.
  3. Set API Key to your Coder session token.
  4. Set Base URL to https://coder.example.com/api/v2/aibridge/openai/v1.

Anthropic

  1. Open Mux settings (Cmd+, / Ctrl+,).
  2. Go to ProvidersAnthropic.
  3. Set API Key to your Coder session token.
  4. Set Base URL to https://coder.example.com/api/v2/aibridge/anthropic.

Replace coder.example.com with your Coder deployment URL.

Environment variables

Mux reads provider configuration from its settings UI and also from environment variables. Environment variables are useful in CI or when running Mux inside a Coder workspace.

Note

Mux treats environment variables as a fallback when a provider is not configured in settings. If you have already configured a provider in the UI, clear it (or update it) for env vars to take effect.

# OpenAI-compatible traffic (GPT, Codex, etc.)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="<your-coder-session-token>"
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://coder.example.com/api/v2/aibridge/openai/v1"

# Anthropic-compatible traffic (Claude, etc.)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="<your-coder-session-token>"
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://coder.example.com/api/v2/aibridge/anthropic"

Running Mux in a Coder workspace

If you want to run Mux inside a Coder workspace (for example, as a Coder app), you can install it with the Mux module and pre-configure AI Bridge via environment variables on the agent:

data "coder_workspace" "me" {}

data "coder_workspace_owner" "me" {}

resource "coder_agent" "main" {
  # ... other agent configuration
  env = {
    OPENAI_API_KEY     = data.coder_workspace_owner.me.session_token
    OPENAI_BASE_URL    = "${data.coder_workspace.me.access_url}/api/v2/aibridge/openai/v1"
    ANTHROPIC_API_KEY  = data.coder_workspace_owner.me.session_token
    ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL = "${data.coder_workspace.me.access_url}/api/v2/aibridge/anthropic"
  }
}

module "mux" {
  source   = "registry.coder.com/coder/mux/coder"
  version  = "~> 1.0" # See the module page for the latest version.
  agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
}

Advanced: providers.jsonc

If you prefer a file-based config, edit ~/.mux/providers.jsonc:

{
  "openai": {
    "apiKey": "<your-coder-session-token>",
    "baseUrl": "https://coder.example.com/api/v2/aibridge/openai/v1"
  },
  "anthropic": {
    "apiKey": "<your-coder-session-token>",
    "baseUrl": "https://coder.example.com/api/v2/aibridge/anthropic"
  }
}
