Anthropic.Claude models, native-stored key.
Connect an Anthropic account while Palshell keeps the service endpoint fixed and the API key behind the operating system credential boundary.
01 Setup

- 01Select Anthropic
Open Palshell, then go to Settings → AI Providers and select Anthropic.
- 02Enter the API key
Paste the key into the API key field. The Base URL is fixed by Palshell and cannot be edited.
- 03Choose a model
Keep Palshell’s current default
claude-sonnet-5, select Discover models, or enter another exact model ID available to your account. - 04Save and verify
Select Save, then Test connection.
- 05Make it the default if needed
Select Set default when Anthropic should be the first provider Palshell uses.
02 Exact configuration
Use these values. Keep credentials out of URLs.

Claude Sonnet 5 is billed by tokens used.
Anthropic bills the API account directly. Palshell does not add a provider surcharge or include Claude usage in a Palshell license.
- Input
- $2.00 / 1M tokens
- Output
- $10.00 / 1M tokens
Instructions and context sent to Claude.
Thinking and response tokens generated by Claude.
(input ÷ 1,000,000 × $2.00) + (output ÷ 1,000,000 × $10.00)Example: 10,000 input tokens and 2,000 output tokens cost about $0.04 before prompt-caching or batch adjustments.
Rates shown in USD and checked September 7, 2026. Prompt caching, batch processing, and a different Claude model can change the final amount. Sonnet 5 also uses a newer tokenizer, so identical text may not produce the same token count as an older Claude model.
Current Claude Sonnet 5 pricingThe destination stays visible. The secret stays native.
The API key is written directly to macOS Keychain or Windows Credential Manager. The website never receives or stores it, and Palshell never exposes the saved value back into the provider settings screen. The native layer retrieves it only for the immediate provider operation.
04 Troubleshooting
If Anthropic does not connect, start here.
- 01API key not found
- Enter the key again in the Anthropic provider card, then select Save. A stored key is write-only from the Palshell interface.
- 02Invalid or unavailable model ID
- Run Discover models and choose an ID returned for the authenticated account, or enter the exact case-sensitive model ID supplied by Anthropic.
- 03Test connection fails
- Confirm the credential and model, then retry. Also check network access, the provider service status, and whether the account may use that model.
