# M101: No providers configured

> Manifest error M101 fires when an authenticated agent has zero providers connected. Common on first run. Fix: connect a provider on the Routing page.

## What you saw

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
[🦚 Manifest M101] You're connected, but no providers are set up yet. Add one here: https://app.manifest.build/...
See https://manifest.build/docs/errors/M101
```

## Why it happened

You'll usually see this on a fresh agent. Your key works, but no provider credentials are connected yet (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, an Ollama instance, anything).

## How to fix it

1. Open the dashboard link in the error message.
2. Connect at least one provider on the **Routing** page. The fastest path is OpenRouter or OpenAI with an API key.
3. Retry the request.
