# Add your Anthropic API key

> Connect your own Anthropic account so Workshop (Ask Mary) and allGood's other AI features run on your key.

Anthropic makes Claude, the AI model behind most of allGood's AI features, including Workshop, where Ask Mary helps you create and edit content.

When you add your own Anthropic API key, those features run on your Anthropic account, and Anthropic bills you for the usage. Some features won't work without your key, while others fall back to a shared key from allGood.

## What your key is used for

**Workshop (Ask Mary) needs your key.** Workshop chats that use a Claude model always run on your key. Without one, they won't start.

**Other AI features use your key if you have one.** If you haven't added one, they fall back to a shared key that allGood provides.

Workshop chats that use a different model don't need this key. A chat on an OpenAI model, for example, uses the key on the **OpenAI** card.

## Prerequisites

* Access to **Integrations** in allGood's settings
* An Anthropic account that can create API keys, or someone on your team who has one

## Add your key

**1. Create a key in Anthropic**

Sign in to the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys) and create a new API key. Copy it somewhere safe, since Anthropic only shows the full key once.

**2. Open Integrations**

Select the gear icon in the top bar, then select **Integrations** in the sidebar.

**3. Expand the Advanced section**

The Anthropic card isn't in the sections shown by default. Scroll down, select the arrow next to **Advanced**, and look under **Advanced Integrations**.

**4. Install Anthropic (Claude)**

On the **Anthropic (Claude)** card, select **Install**.

**5. Paste your key and create the integration**

Paste your key into **API Key**, then select **Create Integration**. Before saving, allGood sends a short test message to Claude to check that the key works.

If the key works, you're taken back to **Integrations**, and the **Anthropic (Claude)** card shows an **Active** badge.

If it doesn't work, you'll see **Failed to create integration. Check credentials and try again**. Make sure you copied the whole key and that your Anthropic account has credit, then try again.

## Replace your key

Open **Integrations**, expand **Advanced**, and select **Edit Settings** on the **Anthropic (Claude)** card. Paste the new key into **API Key** and select **Update Integration**. allGood checks the new key the same way, and the change takes effect within a minute.

Once a key is saved, allGood only shows it as dots. If you're not sure which key is in there, create a new one in the Anthropic Console and replace it.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Add the new key in allGood before you delete the old one in the Anthropic Console. If you delete it first, Workshop chats that use Claude stop working until the new key is in.

If anything here doesn't match what you see in your account, contact allGood support — settings may have changed since this was written.
