### Can I use Claude Max subscription without an API key
Yes. You can authenticate with **Claude Code CLI OAuth** or a **setup-token**
instead of an API key. This is the subscription path.
Important: you must verify with Anthropic that this usage is allowed under
their subscription policy and terms. If you want the most explicit, supported
path, use an Anthropic API key.
### How does Anthropic setuptoken auth work
`claude setup-token` generates a **token string** via the Claude Code CLI (it is not available in the web console). You can run it on **any machine**. If Claude Code CLI credentials are present on the gateway host, Clawdbot can reuse them; otherwise choose **Anthropic token (paste setup-token)** and paste the string. The token is stored as an auth profile for the **anthropic** provider and used like an API key or OAuth profile. More detail: [OAuth](/concepts/oauth).
