OpenFiles integrates with your AI application through three approaches:
  1. Direct Integrations - Drop-in replacement for OpenAI SDK with automatic file operations
  2. Tools - Provider-specific tool definitions for OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI providers
  3. Core SDK & REST API - Direct file operations without AI dependencies

​
File Storage

  • Paths: Specify paths without a leading slash (docs/readme.md)
  • Versioning: Automatic version tracking for all changes
  • Size Limit: 10MB per file operation

​
Authentication

All operations require an API key from console.openfiles.ai. 
# Set environment variable
export OPENFILES_API_KEY="oa_your_key_here"
