API Setup
Moltbot and Clawdbot require a valid model API key. Use this guide to configure and verify your key.
1) Create an API key
Use the provider dashboard to create a key. For Anthropic, go to console.anthropic.com and generate a key.
2) Set the environment variable
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your_key"
Add this line to your shell profile (for example, ~/.zshrc) so it persists.
3) Verify access
Run the CLI once and confirm there are no 401 or invalid key errors.
