`OPENAI_ENV_MODEL_EXTRA`	No	—	Extra config as JSON (`contextWindow`, `maxTokens`)

Install

Or try without persisting:

pi -e npm:pi-provider-env

Usage

export OPENAI_ENV_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1"

export OPENAI_ENV_MODEL_ID="gpt-4o"  # optional

The provider openai-env will appear in model selection (/model or Ctrl+P).

System CA Trust

On Node 22.15+ / 23.9+, this extension also merges system root CAs (macOS Keychain / Windows cert store / Linux system CA) into Node's default trust set. This enables TLS verification for internally-signed or custom certificates without disabling verification entirely (NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0).
