`models auth login` runs a provider plugins auth flow (OAuth/API key). Use
`clawdbot plugins list` to see which providers are installed.
Notes:
- `setup-token` runs `claude setup-token` on the current machine (requires the Claude Code CLI).
- `paste-token` accepts a token string generated elsewhere.

### How does Anthropic "setup-token" auth work?
The wizard can run `claude setup-token` on the gateway host (or you run it yourself), then stores the token as an auth profile for the **anthropic** provider. That profile is used for model calls the same way an API key or OAuth profile would be. If you already ran `claude setup-token`, pick **Anthropic token (paste setup-token)** and paste it. More detail: [OAuth](/concepts/oauth).
`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 you run it on the gateway host, the wizard can auto-detect the CLI credentials. If you run it elsewhere, 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).
Clawdbot keeps `auth.profiles["anthropic:claude-cli"].mode` set to `"oauth"` so
the profile accepts both OAuth and setup-token credentials; older `"token"` mode

- Run `clawdbot models status` (it loads + syncs Claude Code CLI credentials).
- If it still says missing: run `claude setup-token` (or `clawdbot models auth setup-token --provider anthropic`) and retry.
- **If the token was created on another machine**
- Paste it into the gateway host with `clawdbot models auth paste-token --provider anthropic`.
- **Check the profile mode**
- `auth.profiles["anthropic:claude-cli"].mode` must be `"oauth"` (token mode rejects OAuth credentials).
- **If you want to use an API key instead**
- Put `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` in `~/.clawdbot/.env` on the **gateway host**.
- Clear any pinned order that forces `anthropic:claude-cli`:
