Azure OpenAI API endpoint and key must be provided to use…

Error message

Azure OpenAI API endpoint and key must be provided to use agents.

What it means

Setup guard in checkSetup(): provider is 'azure' but either AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT or AZURE_OPENAI_KEY is missing. Azure OpenAI requires both the deployed resource endpoint and its key, so agent setup is aborted until both are set.

Solutions

1. Set the AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT and AZURE_OPENAI_KEY environment variables.
2. Or select a different agent provider.

When it happens

Trigger: Azure OpenAI was selected as the agent provider but endpoint or key is missing.

Common situations: This error is raised at runtime in server/utils/agents/index.js. It occurs when the required configuration for this provider is missing or invalid (unset environment variables, empty API key or base path), when the external service is unreachable or returns an unexpected response, or when invalid input reaches the call site. To prevent it, validate the relevant provider settings and environment variables at startup and confirm the service is reachable before this code path executes.
