Before creating a key
Confirm the selected Verity project loads and supports Groq. A provider setup cannot fix a wrong loader, missing dependency, inactive Bedrock pack, or absent entity. Keep a clean working project baseline.
Create and store the key
Create the credential in GroqCloud, copy it once, and enter it only through the selected project's documented local configuration or command. MMB Guide never accepts or validates the key.
Verify configuration
Use the project's status/config screen or command to confirm Groq is selected, then send one short text prompt. Record the returned status code or exact redacted error before changing model or credential.
Error map
Groq documents standard API status codes.
Rate limits
A 429 can be triggered by requests per minute/day or tokens per minute/day. Check the account's current Limits page because limits vary by plan and model. Repeated rapid retries can extend the problem.
Key exposure response
If a key appears in chat, a screenshot, public log, Git repository, or shared server config, revoke it immediately in GroqCloud and create a replacement. Deleting the message alone does not invalidate the credential.
