### Do I need a Claude or OpenAI subscription to run this?
No. You can run Clawdbot with **API keys** (Anthropic/OpenAI/others) or with
**local‑only models** so your data stays on your device. Subscriptions (Claude
Pro/Max or OpenAI Codex) are optional ways to authenticate those providers.

[Local models](/gateway/local-models), [Models](/concepts/models).

`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.
