# AntSeed — Integration Skill > This file is the agent-readable companion to https://antseed.com/integrations. > It tells any AI agent (Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, custom) exactly > how to wire its tool of choice up to the AntSeed peer-to-peer inference network. ## What is AntSeed? AntSeed is a peer-to-peer marketplace for AI inference. Buyers run a small local daemon (the **buyer proxy**) that exposes an HTTP API at `http://localhost:8377` speaking the three caller-facing LLM API protocols: Anthropic Messages, OpenAI Chat Completions, and OpenAI Responses. Legacy OpenAI Completions is supported internally for adapter translation. The proxy discovers providers on a DHT, routes the request to a peer, translates between protocols when needed (via `@antseed/api-adapter`), and settles in USDC on Base. Important: AntSeed is for value-added AI services (specialized models, agents, TEEs, fine-tunes, managed workflows), not raw resale of API keys or subscription access. Providers must comply with upstream terms of service. From the perspective of any tool, SDK, or agent, **AntSeed is just a local OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible endpoint** — point a `base_url` at it and you are done. ## Glossary (mental model) - **Buyer proxy** — the local server on `localhost:8377` that accepts API calls from your tools and forwards them to AntSeed peers. It is the only thing your editor / agent / SDK ever talks to. - **Peer** — someone selling inference. Each peer has a `peerId` (40-char...
