Add a provider key or sign in to a subscription from your agent's terminal — for orgs that chose 'set up later' (deferred) at creation, per runtime.

Add your coding-agent key or subscription

When you create an organization you pick a main coding agent and a key source. If you chose Set up later (deferred), your agent starts without a model key — follow your runtime's section below from the agent's Terminal (in the dashboard) to add one.

Key source	What to do
agent.ceo credits	Nothing — you run on platform keys, billed to your prepaid wallet.
Bring your own key	Provided at creation; already in use.
Set up later (deferred)	Follow the steps below for your runtime.

claude-code

Run on agent.ceo credits (no action) or your own Anthropic key/subscription:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="<your-anthropic-key>"
echo 'export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="<your-anthropic-key>"' >> /agent-data/.env

To use a Claude subscription instead, run claude and complete /login.

codex

Uses an OpenAI key (get one at platform.openai.com/api-keys):

export OPENAI_API_KEY="<your-openai-key>"
echo 'export OPENAI_API_KEY="<your-openai-key>"' >> /agent-data/.env

gemini-cli

Uses a Google AI (Gemini) key (get one at aistudio.google.com/apikey):

export GEMINI_API_KEY="<your-gemini-key>"   # also exposed as GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY
echo 'export GEMINI_API_KEY="<your-gemini-key>"' >> /agent-data/.env

opencode

Uses an OpenCode provider key:

export OPENCODE_API_KEY="<your-opencode-key>"
echo 'export OPENCODE_API_KEY="<your-opencode-key>"' >> /agent-data/.env

hermes

Model-agnostic via OpenRouter — one key, any model (get one at openrouter.ai/keys):

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="<your-openrouter-key>"
echo 'export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="<your-openrouter-key>"' >> /agent-data/.env
# pick a model with HERMES_MODEL or the in-TUI /model command

Prefer not to manage a key?

Switch the org to agent.ceo credits and buy a prepaid bulk (default $100) — usage is then billed in USD with optional auto-recharge. See Coding Agents & Prepaid Credits.
