LangDB Threads / Messages API

  title: LangDB AI Gateway API
  description: >-
    OpenAI-compatible REST API for the LangDB AI Gateway. A single,
    project-scoped endpoint routes chat completions, embeddings, and image
    generation across 250+ models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic,
    Google, Meta, Mistral, and DeepSeek, while adding routing, guardrails,
    tracing, cost control, and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) gateway.
    Requests are authenticated with a Bearer API key and scoped to a project
    either by embedding the project id in the path
    (`/{project_id}/v1/...`) or by sending an `X-Project-Id` header. Tracing
    and session headers (`X-Thread-Id`, `X-Run-Id`, `X-Label`) attach
    observability metadata to each call.

      summary: Create a chat completion
      description: >-
        OpenAI-compatible chat completion across any model routable by the
        gateway (e.g. `openai/gpt-4o`, `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4`,
        `gemini/gemini-2.5-pro`). Supports streaming via Server-Sent Events
        when `stream` is true, tool/function calling, structured outputs, and
        attaching MCP servers through the `mcp_servers` array. Tracing
        metadata can be attached via the X-Thread-Id, X-Run-Id, and X-Label
        headers.
