Use Helicone observability with Meridian

Helicone is a lightweight proxy that captures every request and response flowing through Meridian. Swap your base URL and add one header — no SDK changes, no code rewrites.

1. Change your base URL

Replace the Meridian origin with the Helicone gateway. All path segments and query parameters pass through unchanged.

Before: https://api.meridian.foogle.dev/v1
After: https://oai.helicone.ai/v1

2. Add the Helicone-Auth header

Authenticate with your Helicone API key. The proxy strips this header before forwarding to Meridian.

Header: Helicone-Auth
Value: Bearer sk-helicone-...

3. Keep your Meridian API key

Your existing Authorization: Bearer mr-... header stays in place. Helicone forwards it to Meridian for authentication.
