# MetaGPT Integration

> Integrate Helicone with MetaGPT, a multi-agent framework that simulates a software company workflow. Monitor AI-driven software development processes and agent interactions.

<Warning>
  This integration method is maintained but no longer actively developed. For the best experience and latest features, use our new [AI Gateway](/gateway/overview) with unified API access to 100+ models.
</Warning>

## Introduction

MetaGPT is an open-source framework that simulates a software company workflow using multiple AI agents. It transforms one-line requirements into comprehensive software development outputs, including user stories, APIs, and documentation.

Integrating Helicone with MetaGPT allows you to monitor agent interactions and track performance across your AI-driven development process.

## Integration Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an account + Generate an API Key">
    Log into [helicone](https://www.helicone.ai) or create an account. Once you have an account, you
    can generate an [API key](https://helicone.ai/developer).

    <Note>
      Make sure to generate a [write only API key](helicone-headers/helicone-auth).
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set base_url in the your config file">
    You can configure your metagpt `config.yaml` and change the base\_url to the following

    <CodeGroup>
      ```yaml config.yaml theme={null}
      llm:
        api_type: "openai"
        model: "gpt-4-turbo" # or gpt-4o-mini
        base_url: "https://oai.helicone.ai/{HELICONE_API_KEY}/v1"
        api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY"
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>
</Steps>
