In this tutorial, you will learn how to create an API key on the Anthropic platform and configure it in Scriptcase AI.

## Claude subscription vs. Anthropic API key

Scriptcase AI uses the **Anthropic API** to communicate with the Claude provider. Therefore, the subscription for Claude’s standard plans is not used as credit for this integration. As a result, you do not need to have a standard Claude plan to use Anthropic in Scriptcase AI.

To configure Anthropic in Scriptcase AI, you need to generate an **API key** in the Claude Console and have available balance/credit in your account for API usage.

API billing is handled separately, according to the API usage in the Claude Console.

## Getting the Anthropic API key

**1 -** Access Claude Console with your account:

<https://console.anthropic.com/>

> When accessing Claude Console for the first time, select how you will use the Claude API. Individual: recommended for personal use, where you create, test, and manage your own API keys and billing. Organization: recommended for companies or teams, allowing you to invite colleagues, share API access, and manage billing centrally.

**2 -** After logging in, on the dashboard tab, click the Get API key button.

**3 -** Define a name for the key. The name is optional, but it is recommended to use an identification that makes it easier to manage the key later in the list of keys.

> Choose the workspace where you want to create your key. The default workspace can be used, as shown in the image below.

\
**4 -** After generating the key, copy the displayed code and store it in a safe place.

> Save the API key in a secure location. Do not share it, publish it in repositories, or send it to third parties. If you lose the key, you will need to generate a new one and update the configuration in Scriptcase AI.

## Configuring Anthropic in Scriptcase AI

**1 -** After logging in to Scriptcase with an administrator account, access the **Tools > Scriptcase AI** menu.

**2 -** Copy the API key generated in the Claude Console and paste it into the **API Key** field. In this step, select the **Anthropic** provider, as well as the **Chat Model** and **Smart Tasks Model** that will be used by Scriptcase AI.

If desired, you can also enable the option to **create and translate the data dictionary automatically**.

**3 -** Project access permissions

In the project list, define the access permissions of Scriptcase AI for each project.

**Enable** **Code access** to allow Scriptcase AI to analyze the code of the open event and assist with tasks such as explanation, review, adjustments, and code suggestions.

**Grant access to the connections so that Scriptcase AI** can query the database structure, such as tables and fields, and use this information when generating or adjusting code.

> Scriptcase AI accesses only the database structure, such as tables and fields. It does not access or read the data stored in the tables.

**4 -** After filling in the information and defining the desired permissions, click **Save settings**.

After saving, the chat and smart tasks will be available using the **Anthropic** provider in Scriptcase AI.
