Keyless, Identity-Aware Access to Any AI.

NetBird replaces long-lived AI API keys with network-layer access tied to groups in your identity provider. Verified identity flows into LiteLLM, Cloudflare, and other gateways for audit, cost attribution, and policy enforcement.

Reachability

Tunnel-only access.

NetBird wraps your AI gateway in a private WireGuard network with no public ingress — reachable only through policy-gated encrypted tunnels tied to your OIDC IdP (Okta, Entra, Google). Drop a user from the group or disable their policy, and access drops within seconds.

Identity

No shared API keys.

Every request carries the real caller's identity — email or agent name plus IdP group memberships — stamped by NetBird as headers for LiteLLM, Cloudflare, or any gateway. Audit logs name real people, costs attribute to the right team, and per-group limits enforce themselves, all driven by your IdP instead of a static API key.

−export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-9xK4mP2nQ7rZ..."

−export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.anthropic.com"

+export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://ai.netbird"

No API key in the config. Identity is stamped by the NetBird proxy and forwarded to the gateway as headers or metadata.

Governance

Spend caps, rate limits, full audit.

No gateway, or want spend controls inside NetBird itself? Attach token and dollar caps to any policy, per group or individual. Every request hits the access log with identity, model, tokens, cost, latency, and status — attribute spend, catch runaway agents, and stream it all to your SIEM.
