NeuroLink provides comprehensive proxy support for enterprise environments, enabling AI integration behind corporate firewalls and proxy servers.

✨ Zero Configuration Proxy Support

NeuroLink automatically detects and uses proxy settings when environment variables are configured. No code changes required.

Quick Setup

# Set proxy environment variables
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://your-corporate-proxy:port
export HTTP_PROXY=http://your-corporate-proxy:port

# NeuroLink will automatically use these settings
npx @juspay/neurolink generate "Hello from behind corporate proxy"

🔧 Environment Variables

Required Proxy Variables

VariableDescriptionExample
HTTPS_PROXYProxy server for HTTPS requestshttp://proxy.company.com:8080
HTTP_PROXYProxy server for HTTP requestshttp://proxy.company.com:8080

Optional Proxy Variables

VariableDescriptionDefault
NO_PROXYDomains to bypass proxylocalhost,127.0.0.1

🚀 Quick Validation

Test Proxy Configuration

# 1. Set proxy variables
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://your-proxy:port
export HTTP_PROXY=http://your-proxy:port

# 2. Test with any provider
npx @juspay/neurolink generate "Test proxy connection" --provider google-ai

# 3. Check proxy logs for connection intercepts

Verify Proxy Usage

When proxy is working correctly, you should see:

  • ✅ AI responses generated successfully
  • ✅ Proxy server logs showing intercepted connections
  • ✅ No direct internet access required
  • ✅ Enterprise MCP tools work alongside proxy

Enterprise Grade Testing

NeuroLink includes comprehensive proxy validation tests:

# Run enterprise proxy tests
npm test -- test/proxy/proxySupport.test.ts

# Test all providers with proxy + MCP
npm test -- test/proxy/proxySupport.test.ts --run

Test Coverage:

  • ✅ Proxy usage validation (negative/positive testing)
  • ✅ All enterprise providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Vertex, Mistral, Ollama)
  • ✅ MCP + Proxy compatibility (enterprise grade)
  • ✅ Real-world timeout handling
  • ✅ SDK and CLI interface testing

🔍 Enterprise Configuration Examples

Corporate Firewall Setup

# Standard corporate proxy
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.company.com:8080
export HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.company.com:8080
export NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,.company.com

Authenticated Proxy

# Proxy with authentication
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://username:password@proxy.company.com:8080
export HTTP_PROXY=http://username:password@proxy.company.com:8080

Multiple Environment Setup

# Development environment
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://dev-proxy.company.com:8080

# Production environment
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://prod-proxy.company.com:8080

🛠️ Technical Implementation

Architecture Overview

NeuroLink uses the undici ProxyAgent for reliable proxy support:

// Automatic proxy detection and configuration
const proxyFetch = createProxyFetch();

// Provider integration varies by SDK capabilities:
// - Custom fetch parameter (Google AI, Vertex AI)
// - Direct fetch calls (Anthropic)
// - Global fetch handling (OpenAI, Bedrock)

Key Benefits

  • 🔄 Automatic Detection - Zero configuration for standard setups
  • 🏢 Enterprise Ready - Works with corporate authentication
  • ⚡ High Performance - Optimized undici implementation
  • 🛡️ Security Compliant - Respects corporate security policies

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Proxy Not Working

# Check environment variables
echo $HTTPS_PROXY
echo $HTTP_PROXY

# Verify proxy server accessibility
curl -I --proxy $HTTPS_PROXY https://api.openai.com

Connection Timeouts

# Increase timeout for slow proxies
export NEUROLINK_TIMEOUT=60000  # 60 seconds

Authentication Issues

# URL encode special characters in credentials
# @ becomes %40, : becomes %3A
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://user%40domain.com:pass%3Aword@proxy:8080

Debug Mode

# Enable detailed proxy logging
export DEBUG=neurolink:proxy
npx @juspay/neurolink generate "Debug proxy connection" --debug
