Environment variables

Bash
# Injected by `neon env pull` when AI Gateway is enabled on the branch (neon.ts preview.aiGateway).
# Neon injects ONLY the NEON_AI_GATEWAY_* vars (not OPENAI_*). Build the OpenAI SDK / curl
# apiKey + baseURL from them: apiKey = NEON_AI_GATEWAY_TOKEN (the bearer, nt_live_...).
#
# NEON_AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL is the bare gateway host (no path). Append the route you need:
#   - `/v1`        - unified Chat Completions and `/v1/embeddings`
#   - `/openai/v1` - OpenAI Responses API
# @neondatabase/ai-sdk-provider and Mastra route requests automatically.
