Anthropic

How to get your Anthropic API key and connect it to Nova Admin.

Enter an Anthropic API key (default) or paste a Claude subscription OAuth bearer token. API key billing stays on the console; an OAuth token uses the Claude subscription instead.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Go to <a href="https://console.anthropic.com" target="_blank">console.anthropic.com</a> and sign up or log in.
  2. In the left sidebar, click <strong>Settings → API keys</strong> (or go directly to <code>console.anthropic.com/settings/keys</code>).
  3. Click <strong>Create Key</strong>, give it a name, then copy the <code>sk-ant-...</code> value — it is shown only once.
  4. In Nova Admin, go to <strong>/agents/integrations</strong>, find <strong>Anthropic</strong>, and paste the key into the API Key field.
  5. Optional: to bill through a Claude subscription instead, paste a Claude OAuth bearer token into the OAuth Token field and leave API Key blank. If both are set, the API key is used.

Credential fields

FieldRequiredDescription
API KeyNoSecret — stored encrypted, never exposed. (e.g. sk-ant-...)
OAuth TokenNoSecret — stored encrypted, never exposed. (e.g. Claude subscription OAuth bearer token)

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid credentials: verify the key was copied in full with no trailing spaces.
  • Key not working: check that your Anthropic account has API access enabled and billing is active if required.
  • Need help?: refer to the Anthropic documentation.
