Sider Integration Guide

Sider is a powerful browser AI assistant extension that provides convenient AI services in a sidebar. It supports multiple AI capabilities, including writing, reading, chatting about any topic, and even generating content summaries. By configuring ZenMux, you can access a broader selection of models beyond the base models provided by Sider.

Configuration Steps

1. Get a ZenMux API Key

Go to the ZenMux Console to create and retrieve your API Key.

2. Install the Sider Extension

1. Search for "Sider" in your browser’s extension store
2. Install and enable the extension
3. Open the extension’s Options page

3. Configure the OpenAI Service

Configuration Notes

You only need to configure OpenAI to unlock all ZenMux models.

In Sider settings:

1. Select Custom Key: General -> AI Access -> Service Provider -> [Sider -> Custom API Key]
2. Select Service Provider: choose OpenAI, then click Settings
3. Set Key: enter your API Key

Important

Please ensure you select ZenMux as your API provider, rather than other providers.

4. Set API Base URL: https://zenmux.ai/api/v1
5. Check Connection: click “Check” After a few seconds, when “Connection successful” appears, the configuration is complete.

6. Usage: In Sider’s model list, select the model you need.

4. Supported Models

ZenMux provides a wide range of models for Sider. Check the ZenMux Model List to see all available models.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

API Key Error

Problem: Connection failed. Please check your API key and proxy settings.

Solution:

• Check whether the ZenMux API Key in your environment variables is correct
• Ensure the API Key is activated and has sufficient balance
• Verify the API Key format starts with sk-ai-v1-

Proxy URL Misconfiguration

Problem: Connection failed. Please check your API key and proxy settings.

Recommendation: We recommend selecting OpenAI. Once configured successfully, you can access all models provided by ZenMux without configuring other models separately in Sider.

Solution:

• Confirm that OpenAI is selected as the service provider
• Verify the URL is: https://zenmux.ai/api/v1

Other model connections:

We also support connecting to our model service in Sider by configuring certain other model providers. The result is identical to connecting via OpenAI. You need to modify the following settings:

Model	API Proxy URL
DeepSeek	https://zenmux.ai/api/v1
Groq	https://zenmux.ai/api/v1
Google (Gemini)	https://zenmux.ai/api/v1
Anthropic (Claude)	https://zenmux.ai/api

Model List Missing or Incomplete

Problem: The complete ZenMux model list is not visible in Sider.

Solution:

• Re-save the API configuration in Sider settings
• Click “Update list” on the right side of the model list to refresh
• Try clicking the “+” button on the right to add models supported by ZenMux
• Check the ZenMux Console to confirm the API Key’s permissions are valid
• Contact ZenMux to confirm service status
