4 use cases

  • Send all app AI calls through one OpenAI-style endpoint

    Point existing OpenAI SDK code at one gateway that routes to several providers with failover.

    View prompt
    Using the ShadowSafin/Synapass repo, deploy the stack with ./scripts/deploy.sh, mint a tenant key, and send one chat completion to /v1/chat/completions for the model <model_name>. Report the synapass.provider and synapass.fallback_used values. Verify that the HTTP status is 200 and the response contains a choices array.

  • Trace which provider and policy handled a bad AI answer

    Look up a request ID to see the routing reason, policy verdict, and answering provider.

    View prompt
    In the ShadowSafin/Synapass repo, call GET /admin/v1/requests/<request_id>/explain with the admin key and summarize the routing reason and the answering provider. Verify that the summary names the same provider as the synapass.provider field in the original response.

  • Set spending limits so one team cannot run up the AI bill

    Use tenant keys with budgets, rate limits, and per-request ceilings to control AI costs.

    View prompt
    In the ShadowSafin/Synapass repo, create a tenant named <team_name> with a daily budget and a rate limit through the dashboard or admin API, then mint one key for it. Report the tenant id and confirm that a request above the configured ceiling is refused. Verify the refusal in the response before reporting success.

  • Run the gateway as a native service on a Linux server

    Build and install Synapass without Docker, then run it under systemd.

    View prompt
    In the ShadowSafin/Synapass repo, build with make build, install with synapass native install, and start with synapass native up on <host>. Report the output of curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:8080/ready. Verify that the readiness check succeeds before reporting the service as running.

How to use Synapass

  1. Check you have what it needs: Docker with Docker Compose, curl, and jq, or Go and Make for the native build; At least one provider API key such as OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in .env; A host with ports 8080 and 3000 free, or a changed GATEWAY_PORT.
  2. Open ShadowSafin/Synapass on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run ./scripts/deploy.sh from the cloned repo root, or the one-line installer for your OS from the README.
  4. Add a provider key such as OPENAI_API_KEY to .env, then run ./scripts/deploy.sh again.
  5. Create a tenant key with a POST to /admin/v1/keys using the admin key, as shown in the README example request.
  6. Send a chat request to curl -s $GATEWAY/v1/chat/completions with the tenant key as the Bearer token.

These steps come from our top use case, Send all app AI calls through one OpenAI-style endpoint, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
