LibreChat requires a deployment administrator to allow custom endpoints; ordinary users cannot rewrite remote server configuration using this site's buttons. The console **API Keys → Use Tools → LibreChat** provides a configuration snippet.

## Administrator Configuration

Merge into the existing `librechat.yaml` the `endpoints.custom`; do not overwrite other endpoints:

```yaml
endpoints:
  custom:
    - name: '1折AI'
      apiKey: user_provided
      baseURL: 'https://1zheai.com/v1'
      models:
        default: []
        fetch: true
```

Apply the configuration validation required by the current version and restart the service, then have users enter their own keys in LibreChat's API key settings. The shared configuration does not contain real keys. If model retrieval fails, the administrator can set `default` to a verified working model ID and check the server's outbound network access.

## Verification and Troubleshooting

Select the newly added endpoint and model, send a brief request, then check this site's call logs. If the endpoint does not appear, first check whether the configuration mount location and restart took effect; for 401, check the key entered by the user; for 404, check that the Base URL is `/v1` and not the full request path. Do not store keys on untrusted public LibreChat instances.
