Support OpenAI-compatible API providers (e.g., Zhipu AI, DeepSeek, etc.) #3256
Description
Feature Request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The AI Agent feature currently only supports OpenAI as a provider. This limits users who cannot access OpenAI services
(e.g., users in China) or prefer to use other LLM providers that offer OpenAI-compatible APIs.
Describe the solution you'd like
Support OpenAI-compatible API providers by allowing custom baseURL configuration, similar to how Parse Server
handles AI adapters.
Currently, the code only accepts provider: 'openai':
[REDACTED]
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Using Parse Server cloud functions as a workaround
- Direct integration in frontend applications
- Using proxy services (not ideal for production)
Additional context
[REDACTED]
Many Chinese LLM providers offer OpenAI-compatible APIs.
All of these use the same request/response format as OpenAI, only the baseURL differs.
This would make Parse Dashboard more accessible to international users and those who prefer alternative LLM providers
