General setup flow
All provider guides follow this general flow:
- Configure provider policies and settings - Some providers (like AWS Bedrock) require additional configuration in the provider's console before you can use them with Port. This step is optional for providers that only need API keys.
- Store API keys in secrets - Store your provider credentials securely in Port's secrets system. See Step 2: Store API Keys in Secrets in the main setup guide.
- Register the provider - Use the Create or connect an LLM provider API to configure and validate your provider connection.
- Set as default - Optionally set your provider as the organization default using the UI (Builder → Organization Settings → AI tab) or the Change default LLM provider and model API.
