Model Settings - Tembo Docs

Use Settings > Models in the dashboard to control how your workspace selects and runs models.

Default agent

Set the default agent and model Tembo uses for new sessions and automations.

Pick the workspace default from a single dropdown in Settings > Models
You can still override agent/model per session or automation

Personal default agent

You can set your own default agent and model in Settings > Preferences. Your personal default takes priority over the workspace default for your own sessions.

Provider API keys

You can manage model provider credentials in one place:

Anthropic API key
OpenAI API key
Amp API key
Cursor API key
AWS Bedrock access key, secret key, and region
GCP Vertex AI service account JSON, project, and location

Keys are saved at the workspace level and used when a selected model requires that provider. Anthropic, OpenAI, Amp, and Cursor credentials are available on every Tembo plan, including Free. AWS Bedrock and GCP Vertex AI credentials require a paid Tembo plan. To use a paid ChatGPT subscription with Codex, OpenCode, or Pi, connect it from Settings > Connected Accounts. ChatGPT connections are available on every Tembo plan.

Custom MCP servers (global JSON)

globalMcpServers lets you define shared MCP servers available across sessions and automations.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-server": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your-github-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

This JSON is workspace-wide. Invalid JSON is rejected when you save.

Available models

The Available Models list lets you enable or disable specific models for your organization.

Models are enabled by default
Org admins can toggle models on/off
Non-admin members can view status but cannot change it

You cannot disable the model currently used by your default agent. Change the default agent model first.
