# 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 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
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
clawdbot onboard
|
||
# choose: Anthropic API key
|
||
|
||
# or non-interactive
|
||
clawdbot onboard --anthropic-api-key "$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Config snippet
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
env: { ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: "sk-ant-..." },
|
||
agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5" } } }
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Prompt caching (Anthropic API)
|
||
|
||
Clawdbot does **not** override Anthropic’s default cache TTL unless you set it.
|
||
This is **API-only**; Claude Code CLI OAuth ignores TTL settings.
|
||
|
||
To set the TTL per model, use `cacheControlTtl` in the model `params`:
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
agents: {
|
||
defaults: {
|
||
models: {
|
||
"anthropic/claude-opus-4-5": {
|
||
params: { cacheControlTtl: "5m" } // or "1h"
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Clawdbot includes the `extended-cache-ttl-2025-04-11` beta flag for Anthropic API
|
||
requests; keep it if you override provider headers (see [/gateway/configuration](/gateway/configuration)).
|
||
|
||
## Option B: Claude Code CLI (setup-token or OAuth)
|
||
|
||
**Best for:** using your Claude subscription or existing Claude Code CLI login.
|
||
|
||
### Where to get a setup-token
|
||
|
||
Setup-tokens are created by the **Claude Code CLI**, not the Anthropic Console. You can run this on **any machine**:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
claude setup-token
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Paste the token into Clawdbot (wizard: **Anthropic token (paste setup-token)**), or let Clawdbot run the command locally:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
clawdbot onboard --auth-choice setup-token
|
||
# or
|
||
clawdbot models auth setup-token --provider anthropic
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you generated the token on a different machine, paste it:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
clawdbot models auth paste-token --provider anthropic
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### CLI setup
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Run setup-token locally (wizard can run it for you)
|
||
clawdbot onboard --auth-choice setup-token
|
||
|
||
# Reuse Claude Code CLI OAuth credentials if already logged in
|
||
clawdbot onboard --auth-choice claude-cli
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Config snippet
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5" } } }
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
- The wizard can run `claude setup-token` locally and store the token, or you can paste a token generated elsewhere.
|
||
- Clawdbot writes `auth.profiles["anthropic:claude-cli"].mode` as `"oauth"` so the profile
|
||
accepts both OAuth and setup-token credentials. Older configs using `"token"` are
|
||
auto-migrated on load.
|
||
- Auth details + reuse rules are in [/concepts/oauth](/concepts/oauth).
