PORTS

HELM Port Layout

Port Service Context
8080 Kernel API (OpenAI-compatible, MCP gateway) All modes
8081 Health endpoint (/healthz, compat /health) All modes
9090 Standalone proxy (when running helm proxy) Standalone only

Notes

  • Docker Compose: exposes 8080 and 8081. The proxy runs inside the kernel on 8080.
  • Standalone proxy (make proxy / helm proxy): listens on 9090, forwards to upstream.
  • Quickstart examples use http://localhost:8080 (Docker) or http://localhost:9090/v1 (standalone proxy).
