Scout needs two API keys.

Scout runs on this computer. It reasons with OpenRouter and researches the web with Exa, using keys stored in a local .env file. Nothing goes through an INNOVERA server.

1
OpenRouter API key
OPENROUTER_API_KEY · required for every reasoning step.
2
Exa API key
EXA_API_KEY · required for web research.
3
Test the connection
A short test call to make sure Scout can think and answer.

To add a missing key, open the .env file beside server.js (create it if needed), add one line per key, then close Scout and start it again.

OPENROUTER_API_KEY=...
EXA_API_KEY=...
