Does Docker Agent work with Standard Compute?

Yes. Docker Agent supports a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL, so it works with Standard Compute. Set the base URL to https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1, paste your API key, and set the model to "standardcompute".

What base URL do I use for Docker Agent?

Use https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 as the OpenAI-compatible base URL in Docker Agent, with your Standard Compute API key and the model "standardcompute".

Do I need to change my code or model names?

No code changes. The model "standardcompute" routes each request to a frontier or an efficient model, so you don't pick or update model names; an exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.

Use Standard Compute with Docker Agent

Docker's open-source runtime for building and running agent teams from YAML or HCL, bundled with Docker Desktop, with named providers for any OpenAI-compatible API. Paste three settings into Docker Agent: the base URL, your Standard Compute API key and the model.

Docker Agent never picks a custom provider with model: auto, so reference it as provider/model. A provider with a base_url also bypasses any configured models gateway and authenticates with its own token_key.

Connect Docker Agent

Eligible new accounts can try $0.25 of compute, with no card. See trial terms →

Your connection settings

Copy these values, then put them where Docker Agent expects them (steps below).

Base URL

https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1

API Key

Your Standard Compute key

Model

Where to set them in Docker Agent

In your agent YAML (or ~/.config/cagent/config.yaml for every agent), add providers.standardcompute with base_url: https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1, token_key: STANDARDCOMPUTE_API_KEY and api_type: openai_chatcompletions.
Set an agent's model to standardcompute/standardcompute, or an exact ID such as standardcompute/anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5.
Put STANDARDCOMPUTE_API_KEY in your environment or ~/.config/cagent/.env and run docker agent run agent.yaml. docker agent setup → Custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint does the same interactively.

What changes in Docker Agent

Billing: Docker Agent requests draw on one monthly compute budget, with plans from $19 a month. There is no per-token bill. When the budget is used, requests stop until renewal or an upgrade, unless you turn on pay as you go.
Models: The model standardcompute picks a frontier or an efficient model for each request. An exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.
Good to know: Docker Agent is free and open source (Apache 2.0), included with Docker Desktop 4.63 and later. Built-in providers bill per token; a custom provider bills through that provider.
