Anthropic (Claude)

Anthropic builds the Claude model family and provides access via an API. In Clawdbot you can authenticate with an API key or reuse Claude Code / Claude CLI credentials (setup-token or OAuth).

​
Option A: Anthropic API key

Best for: standard API access and usage-based billing. Create your API key in the Anthropic Console.

​
CLI setup

clawdbot onboard
# choose: Anthropic API key

# or non-interactive
clawdbot onboard --anthropic-api-key "$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"

​
Config snippet

{
  env: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: "sk-ant-..." },
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5" } } }
}

​
Option B: Claude CLI (setup-token or OAuth)

Best for: using your Claude subscription or existing Claude CLI login.

​
CLI setup

# Run setup-token on the gateway host (wizard can run it for you)
clawdbot onboard --auth-choice setup-token

# Reuse Claude CLI OAuth credentials if already logged in
clawdbot onboard --auth-choice claude-cli

​
Config snippet

{
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5" } } }
}

​
Notes

  • The wizard can run claude setup-token on the gateway host and store the token.
  • Auth details + reuse rules are in /concepts/oauth.
