Roo Code is a VS Code AI coding extension. To connect BetterToken, choose the OpenAI Compatible provider and use a model ID from the Codex group.

​
Prerequisites

  • VS Code installed
  • BetterToken API Key (register here (https://www.bettertoken.ai/register))

​
Install Roo Code

Open VS Code, search for Roo Code in the extensions marketplace, and install it.

​
Setup

1

Clear conflicting environment variables

unset OPENAI_API_KEY
unset OPENAI_BASE_URL
2

Open Roo Code settings

Open the Roo Code Settings panel.
3

Configure the API provider

Fill in:
  • API Provider → OpenAI Compatible
  • Base URL → https://www.bettertoken.ai/v1
  • API Key → your BetterToken API Key
  • Model → a Codex group model ID copied from the model plaza (https://www.bettertoken.ai/pricing)
4

Only configure extra headers when the official docs explicitly require them

The official Roo Code material we checked focuses on OpenAI-compatible or custom API setup, but it does not treat an extra User-Agent as a required BetterToken step.If you are also using a custom gateway, tenant routing, observability, or caching layer, add headers only according to that upstream service’s official docs.
5

Save and start using it

Click Save and Done, then select the configured model.
6

Restart Roo Code

After saving the config, restart VS Code or reload the Roo Code extension before selecting the configured model.
Roo Code’s OpenAI Compatible provider still depends on OpenAI-style tool calling. If you need extra headers, follow the current Roo Code docs or your upstream gateway requirements instead of assuming User-Agent is mandatory for BetterToken.
