# Cohesor

A hosted gateway that sits between your agents and model providers: it accepts Anthropic- or OpenAI-style requests at one base URL, compresses prompts, sends simple requests to cheaper models, enforces per-user budgets and exposes a governed MCP endpoint for GitHub, Google, Slack and Postgres tools.

## Rules for an agent

- No SDK: set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.cohesor.com with ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=sk-coh-..., or OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.cohesor.com/v1 with OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-coh-...; the MCP gateway is https://api.cohesor.com/mcp with header x-api-key.
- Gateway keys (sk-coh-) are shown once; keep them out of code and repos
- Upstream model providers' terms and content policies still apply to outputs
- Compression can change prompt bytes; pin a fixed model or turn routing sensitivity down for tasks that need exact behaviour
