Use Existing AI Subscriptions
Ziva can use models through an AI account you already pay for. Requests count toward that provider’s usage instead of your included Ziva usage, while you keep Ziva’s editor-aware tools and chat experience.
These providers are available to every signed-in Ziva account, including Hobby:
| Provider | Account used |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Anthropic account |
| Codex | ChatGPT account |
| OpenRouter | OpenRouter credit |
This is separate from local providers, which run Ollama or LM Studio on your computer, and from Ziva as an MCP server, which lets an external agent control Godot through Ziva.
Connect a provider
- Open Ziva Settings.
- Select Models & Providers.
- Open Use Existing Subscriptions.
- Select Connect beside the provider.
- Complete the provider’s sign-in flow in your browser.
OpenRouter charges your OpenRouter credit for tokens, the small pieces of text the model reads and writes. Add credit there before you start.
Troubleshooting
- You must be signed in to Ziva, but you do not need a paid Ziva plan.
- If the browser cannot return to Ziva automatically, follow the manual redirect instructions in the connection panel.
- If connected models do not appear, restart Godot.
- Provider subscriptions, usage limits, and model availability are controlled by the provider and can change independently of Ziva.
