Claudette requires an Anthropic API key to communicate with the Claude API. You can configure a single key for personal use or define multiple named keys to switch between accounts — for example, separate work and personal keys.

​
Single API key setup

The simplest configuration is a single string value for api_key in your settings file. 
{
  "api_key": "sk-ant-..."
}
To open the settings file, go to Preferences > Package Settings > Claudette > Settings.
Get your API key at console.anthropic.com/settings/keys.

​
Multiple API keys

When you need to switch between accounts — such as a work key and a personal key — define api_key as an object with a keys array and an active_key index. 
{
  "api_key": {
    "keys": [
      {
        "name": "Work",
        "key": "sk-ant-..."
      },
      {
        "name": "Personal",
        "key": "sk-ant-..."
      }
    ],
    "active_key": 0
  }
}
Each entry in keys requires a name (shown in the selection panel) and a key (the API key string). The active_key value is a zero-based index pointing to the currently active key. To switch the active key at runtime, open the command palette and run Claudette: Switch API Key. A quick panel lists all named keys; selecting one updates active_key and saves your settings immediately.
The Claudette: Switch API Key command is only enabled when two or more keys are defined in the keys array.

​
Custom base URL

If you are using a proxy, a self-hosted endpoint, or an API-compatible service, set base_url to point to that endpoint. The default is https://api.anthropic.com/v1/. 
{
  "base_url": "https://your-proxy.example.com/v1/"
}
If your custom endpoint uses a self-signed certificate, set verify_ssl to false to skip SSL certificate verification. 
{
  "verify_ssl": false
}
Disabling SSL verification reduces security. Only use "verify_ssl": false in trusted development environments, never in production.
