Anthropic

Learn how to connect your Anthropic organization to North as a Cost Loop.

Connect the Anthropic Cost Loop with your North account to see your usage costs across the various models Anthropic provides.

Before You Start

You need administrator access to your Anthropic organization, and your Anthropic organization ID. North verifies that the ID matches the organization tied to the key you supply, so the two must belong together.

North reads your Claude API usage and cost through the Anthropic Admin API. You supply your organization ID and an API key. Where you create that key depends on which Claude product you use. North asks you to pick one, and the setup steps change with your answer.

Product type
Where you administer it
Key you create

Claude Platform

platform.claude.com

Admin API key

Enterprise

claude.ai

Analytics API key

Pick the one that matches how your organization buys Claude. If you are not sure, check which of the two sites you use to manage your organization.

Connect Anthropic

1

Open the connect screen

Open Settings, then Integrations, then Add accounts. Under Cost Loops, select Anthropic.

2

Create your API key

For Claude Platform: in the Claude Console, open Settings, then Admin keys. Create an Admin API key with access to usage and cost reporting.

For Enterprise: in claude.ai, open Organization settings, then API. Create an Analytics API key with the read:analytics scope.

3

Enter your connection details

Fill in the fields:

  • Connection name. A label to recognize this account by. It becomes the card title on your homepage.

  • Anthropic organization ID.

  • Claude product type. Claude Platform or Enterprise.

  • Admin API key, or Analytics API key for Enterprise. The field label changes with the product type you selected.

4

Verify and connect

Click Verify & Connect. North checks the key against the organization ID before it saves the connection.

What North Reads

North reads two reports from the Anthropic Admin API, plus a third for Claude Code.

Usage carries more dimensions than cost. That is a property of the Anthropic Admin API, which caps a request at five grouping dimensions and reports cost at a coarser grain than usage.

After You Connect

Anthropic spend appears on your homepage as a card carrying your connection name. See Viewing Cost Loop Data for where else it shows up and at what detail.
