Step 1 · your model gateway

1. Install the connector from ModelVendor. Choose the command for the vendor machine:

# macOS
brew install GrowwSoft/tap/modelvendor

# Linux
curl -fsSL https://modelvendor.com/install.sh | sh

# Windows (PowerShell)
winget install --id Cloudflare.cloudflared
Invoke-WebRequest https://github.com/GrowwSoft/modelvendor-connector/releases/latest/download/modelvendor_windows_amd64.zip -OutFile modelvendor.zip
Expand-Archive modelvendor.zip -DestinationPath .\modelvendor
.\modelvendor\modelvendor.exe version

On Windows, install cloudflared first — the connector runs it to open the tunnel and cannot work without it — then download and unzip the connector and run modelvendor.exe from the folder it created. macOS and Linux install cloudflared for you. A one-command winget install for the connector itself is on the way; until it ships, winget will not find that package, so use the download above.

2. Create a private connection token.

Keep the ModelVendor connector running alongside your model server. The token is private and attaches only your account's gateway. One connector can expose every model reported by that server.

Your hostname comes from the seller handle created when you sign in. For example, the account @alice-gpus receives https://alice-gpus.modelvendor.com/v1. “seller” in the example below is a placeholder for that handle, not the literal hostname you will receive.

ModelVendor provisions the hostname when the connector first authenticates. Sellers never type or change this endpoint.

Have multiple GPU machines? Keep one seller hostname and point the connector at one OpenAI-compatible gateway that aggregates them.

Run the connector, then check the connection to load its models.

Optional · your booking link

Publish the scheduler you already use — Calendly, Cal.com, anything on https — and buyers see a Book a meeting button on your seller card. Sellers who publish one convert better, but nobody is required to, and ModelVendor vets nothing said on the call. Leave it empty to remove yours.
