What you bring

API key only: An Anthropic API key. Billed by Anthropic to your Console account. A Claude Pro or Max plan is separate and does not cover API use.

Set it up

  1. Create an API key in your Anthropic (Claude) account at https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys.
  2. Open AI providers in your workspace.
  3. Under Add a provider, find Anthropic (Claude), choose Add key and paste the key (it starts with sk-ant-).
  4. We check the key with the provider before saving, so a typo is caught on the spot.
  5. Choose each agent's model in Squad. Each connection stays independent, so adding one provider never replaces another.
