Hi, I’m trying to add an AI node but I want it to use Claude opus - I have a pro account but I can only seem to add API key credentials. Is there a way to use my Claude Pro account for AI nodes? Being stuck using only the API for AI nodes seems like a bad choice.

HI @magicindustries Welcome to the community!
n8n Claude integrations only work through the Anthropic API, not through a Claude Pro/Max chat subscription , if you want to run Claude Opus/Sonnet/Haiku from n8n AI nodes, you need:
-
An Anthropic API account with billing/credits.
-
An Anthropic credential in n8n using that API key.
-
Use that credential in either:
-
Anthropic Chat Model (for AI Agent and other LangChain-based flows)
-
The Anthropic app node’s “Message a Model” operation.
-
You can also checkout inference providers like Openrouter and Groq.

I understand the confusion @magicindustries but unfortunately n8n AI nodes require API credentials, they cannot use your Claude Pro web subscription directly.
You’ll need to sign up for Anthropic’s API separately.
There doesn’t seem to be a way to sign up for console. it redirects to platform subdomain.
As from the docs we need to sign up for console, it directly redirects to domain: Dashboard | Claude Developer Platform then, we have keys : API Keys | Claude Developer Platform
Seems like we have Manage → Keys → organization (default organisation selected) and then → keys of the organization.
It doesn’t seem to have something similar to “console API keys” separate with “some other keys”
Maybe the default base url in n8n is wrong one? https://api.anthropic.com
