Claude

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, designed to be helpful, harmless, and honest. Rill supports connecting to Claude using your own API key and configuration parameters to enable AI-powered conversations and data analysis features.

API Key​

Rill will use your configured Claude connector if available, or fall back to its built-in LLM service if no custom configuration is provided. Once configured, your API key will be used for AI features in both Rill Developer and Rill Cloud, including the AI Agent builder. You can configure your API key in your project's .env file and reference the credentials in a connector YAML.

Claude API Key​

To configure Claude access, you'll need to obtain an API key and configure it in your project.

  1. Obtain your Claude API key from the Anthropic Console.

  2. Create the connector YAML:

    Create connectors/claude.yaml in your project:

    type: connector
    driver: claude
    api_key: "{{ .env.CLAUDE_API_KEY }}"

  3. Set up environment variable:

    If configuring manually, ensure your project's .env file contains the key before starting Rill:

    claude_api_key=sk-ant-...

  4. Configure Claude as the default AI connector:

    Add the following to your rill.yaml to use Claude as the AI provider for your project:

    ai_connector: claude

For details on managing credentials across environments, see Configure Local Credentials.

Configuration Options​

For additional configuration options (model, temperature, token limits, etc.), see the Claude connector reference.

Deploy to Rill Cloud​

Rill requires you to explicitly provide a Claude API key to use the Claude connector. See the connector reference for details.

For details on pushing and pulling credentials between environments, see Configure Local Credentials.
