Want to use Chinese-developed models such as Kimi or Qwen for their Chinese-language capabilities, faster responses, or lower costs—but can’t find a ready-made node in n8n?  
What if there were a “universal key” that could connect most major Chinese models to n8n, without writing a single line of code?  
That key is OpenAI API compatibility.  
It might sound technical, but this guide breaks it down into simple steps you can follow with just a few clicks. Let’s give your n8n workflow access to more models!

1. A quick look at the setup  
Here are some Chinese model services configured in the example: ModelScope, Kimi, and Tencent Hunyuan.

Next, we’ll use **Kimi K2** as an example and walk through the configuration step by step.

1. Get an API key for Kimi K2 through Tokatlas  
Visit [Tokatlas](https://www.tokatlas.com/) and create an API key.  
Then copy the API address:

2. Configure n8n  
As usual, let’s add our AI Agent node.
