Use a subscription login
Connect an existing Claude Code or ChatGPT subscription to power your AI teammates without a separate API key.
What is a subscription login?
Use a subscription login when you already pay for Claude Code or ChatGPT and want an AI teammate to run through that subscription instead of a separate API key.
How to Use a Subscription Login
Open Models
Go to Settings → Workspace → Models. This is the same place where API-key providers and subscription logins become available model sources.
Choose Add subscription
Click Add subscription. This dialog supports Claude subscriptions. For a ChatGPT subscription, complete the OpenAI sign-in from the model step when creating an AI teammate — see Hire an AI teammate.
Complete the provider-specific login
Run the setup command shown in the dialog, paste the token, give the subscription a label, and save. Use a label that tells teammates which subscription this is.
Assign the subscription-backed model
Open Teammate Settings → Profile → Models. Choose a model listed under the saved subscription source, then save. Subscription-backed models appear next to API-key-backed models in the same picker.
Subscription vs API key
| Subscription | API key | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost model | Fixed subscription | Pay per token |
| Limits | Subscription usage caps | Your account's rate limits |
| Best for | Predictable, moderate usage | Heavy or variable usage |
A subscription login is still a credential. Keep it labeled, assign it only to compatible AI teammates, and reconnect it if the provider session expires.
