# Anthropic

> Connect Anthropic and choose an AI model in Enconvo.

Use **Anthropic** as an AI Model provider in Enconvo. The available model list comes from the installed provider and your account access; select a model in the app rather than relying on a fixed list in this guide.

## Connect

1. Open **Settings → Global Providers Settings → AI Model**.
2. Select **Anthropic**, or use **Add New Provider** to create another profile.
3. Configure the provider’s **Authentication** using your own account or API key, following the available method on that page.
4. Validate the credential if a validation action is offered.
5. Choose the model or deployment, then select this provider in your Agent or conversation and send a short text request.

## Provider options

Choose **API Key** or **Claude Subscription** in Authentication. See [Claude Subscription](/providers/anthropic_subscription) for connecting an account. Reasoning controls depend on the selected model.

The provider definition includes: **Model Name**, **Temperature**. Some controls appear only for models or authentication methods that support them.

## Use it in a conversation

Select the model from the conversation’s model menu. Review reasoning and tool support for the selected model before running an Agent task. A text-only request is a useful connection check before adding images, documents, or tools.

Provider profiles share credentials across their supported categories. See [Credentials and Provider Profiles](/configuration/credentials) before renaming, deleting, or changing a shared key.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Check |
| - | - |
| Authentication failure | Correct profile, authentication method, and account access |
| Model unavailable | Current model picker and access granted to your account |
| Tool or image request fails | Selected model capabilities and enabled Agent tools |
| Rate or usage limit | Provider account usage, or Cloud usage if using an Enconvo Cloud provider |
| Slow response | Input size, selected model, reasoning setting, and provider availability |

See the [provider capability catalog](/providers/catalog) for other categories and [Model Selection](/ai/model-selection-guide) for choosing a model by task.
