BYOK key

Cubicle is BYOK — Bring Your Own Key. You provide a Claude Platform API key; Cubicle uses it for every Claude call your agents make.

Why BYOK

  • Anthropic bills you directly. Cubicle never marks up tokens.
  • Your data sits on your Claude Platform account.
  • You can rotate the key without touching anyone else's setup.

Getting a key

Go to platform.claude.com/settings/keys and create a key. Copy it once — you can't see it again.

Adding it

First time: the setup screen asks for the key right after the invite.

Later: Settings → API key. Paste a new key, save. The new key is used immediately on the next agent message.

Workspace-level

The key lives on the workspace. Every office and every agent in the workspace share it. There's no per-agent key.

Rotating

When you rotate on the Anthropic side, paste the new key into Cubicle. Old in-flight calls finish on the old key; new calls use the new one.

Storage

The key is encrypted at rest in Cubicle's database. It's only decrypted when making an Anthropic API call. Cubicle staff can't read it.

Tip

Set spend limits on the key from the Claude Platform dashboard as a hard ceiling. Pair with budgets per agent for finer control.
