Anthropic
Setup Anthropic provider and learn how to use it in the starter kit.
The Anthropic provider integrates Anthropic's powerful Claude models into your application through the AI SDK, with an emphasis on safety, helpfulness, and natural interactions.
Setup
Generate API Key
Visit the Anthropic Console to create an account and generate a new API key for your project.
Add API Key to Environment
Add your generated API key to your project's .env file (e.g., in apps/web):
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-keyConfigure Provider (Optional)
The starter kit automatically uses the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable. For advanced configurations (such as proxies or custom headers), refer to the AI SDK Anthropic documentation.
