description	Anthropic AI integration via Replit AI Integrations proxy (JavaScript/TypeScript). Provides Anthropic-compatible API access without requiring your own API key.

Anthropic AI Integration

Set up Anthropic AI integration via Replit AI Integrations proxy. Keys are automatically provisioned.

Supported Anthropic APIs

• messages

Supported Anthropic Models

• claude-opus-4-7: Most capable, best for complex reasoning and coding tasks. Improved memory for cross-session continuity and high-res image support. Prefer claude-opus-4-7 over other Opus-series models.
  • Note: temperature, top_p, and top_k parameters are deprecated on claude-opus-4-7. Setting any of these to a non-default value will return a 400 error. Omit these parameters entirely from requests.
  • Note: Thinking content is omitted from responses by default. Thinking blocks still appear but their text field will be empty unless you set thinking display to "summarized". Extended thinking budgets (thinking type "enabled" with budget_tokens) are not supported and will return a 400 error -- use adaptive thinking instead.
• claude-opus-4-6: Earlier Opus generation, prefer claude-opus-4-7.
• claude-opus-4-5: Earlier Opus generation, prefer claude-opus-4-7.
• claude-opus-4-1: Earlier Opus generation, prefer claude-opus-4-7.
• claude-sonnet-4-6: Balanced performance and speed, recommended for most use cases. Prefer claude-sonnet-4-6 over claude-sonnet-4-5.
• claude-sonnet-4-5: Earlier Sonnet generation, prefer claude-sonnet-4-6.
• claude-haiku-4-5: Fastest and most compact, ideal for simple tasks

IMPORTANT: Models not listed above are NOT available through AI integrations. Never use unlisted models with this integration.

Unsupported Capabilities

The following capabilities are NOT supported by Anthropic AI integrations. Do NOT proceed with this integration for these use cases:

• Batch API
• Files API

Agent Stack Note

When user is building features related to "Agent Stack (Agents and Automations)", you MUST always setup an LLM provider - regardless of whether the specific implementation appears to need AI/LLM capabilities or not. DO NOT second-guess this requirement. Skipping the LLM provider setup in such cases will lead to broken code and awful user experience. Follow the guidelines below to determine whether to proceed with this integration or other Anthropic integrations.

Selection Guidelines

Before proceeding with setting up this integration, check if the user already has the integration set up. If they do then DO NOT proceed.

Match whether or not to use this integration based on the following order of precedence (stop at the first match):

Precedence 1 — Explicit user requests

• The user wants to use their own API key: Do NOT proceed with this integration
• The user specifically asks for Anthropic and the requested capability is supported: Proceed with this integration
• The user asked for Anthropic but needs a capability or model NOT listed in the supported sections above: This integration CANNOT provide it. You MUST use Anthropic directly with the user's own API key instead

Precedence 2 — Use-case triggers (proceed with this integration)

• Coding tasks requiring complex reasoning (prefer Anthropic for coding over other providers).

Precedence 3 — No provider specified

• Default to OpenAI AI integrations if it supports the requested use case. If it does not, use OpenAI directly with the user's own API key
• If even OpenAI directly with API key does not support the requested use case, find another integration or alternative

If this is the first time proposing or using this integration, clearly indicate that this internally uses Replit AI Integrations for Anthropic access, does not require your own API key, and that charges are billed to your credits. You must specifically include every one of these three details.

When to Use

• User needs Anthropic AI capabilities (chat, completions)
• User does not want to provide their own API key
• Any AI/LLM request that should use Anthropic

How to Set Up

1. Provision the AI integration (env vars)

In the JavaScript sandbox, call:

const result = await setupReplitAIIntegrations({
  providerSlug: "anthropic",
});
console.log(result);

The callback derives and sets AI_INTEGRATIONS_ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and AI_INTEGRATIONS_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.

When setting up multiple AI integrations, call setupReplitAIIntegrations sequentially — wait for each call to finish before starting the next. For example:

const anthropicResult = await setupReplitAIIntegrations({
  providerSlug: "anthropic",
});
console.log(anthropicResult);
const openaiResult = await setupReplitAIIntegrations({
  providerSlug: "openai",
});
console.log(openaiResult);

2. Copy the template files into your project

cp -r .local/skills/ai-integrations-anthropic/templates/lib/* lib/

This copies two sets of files:

• lib/integrations-anthropic-ai/ — the integration workspace package
• lib/db/src/schema/conversations.ts and lib/db/src/schema/messages.ts — the Drizzle schema files for the conversations and messages tables

3. Add the integration dependency

Add the integration package to your API server's package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@workspace/integrations-anthropic-ai": "workspace:*"
  }
}

4. Install dependencies

pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile

5. Add TypeScript project references

Add the new lib to the root tsconfig.json references:

{ "path": "./lib/integrations-anthropic-ai" }

Add to artifacts/api-server/tsconfig.json references:

{ "path": "../../lib/integrations-anthropic-ai" }

6. Add the API contract

Read .local/skills/ai-integrations-anthropic/references/openapi.md for the OpenAPI spec entries. Add the paths and schemas to lib/api-spec/openapi.yaml under the /anthropic prefix, then run codegen:

pnpm --filter @workspace/api-spec run codegen

7. Implement routes and push database

See Wiring Instructions below.

IMPORTANT

• You should NEVER ask the user for secrets or env vars for this integration. Nor should you ever attempt to modify these env vars. AI_INTEGRATIONS_ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and AI_INTEGRATIONS_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY are automatically set during setup
• The value of AI_INTEGRATIONS_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is a dummy string to make the SDK compatible. Do not assume it's misconfigured without testing the API call. It should work as expected when AI_INTEGRATIONS_ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL is also set
• If setup failed or env vars are missing after setup, retry the setupReplitAIIntegrations call. DO NOT try measures other than this to fix the issue. If after 3 retries the issue persists, switch to using an api-key-based approach

Code Generation Guidelines

Use the SDK client shown in the provided modules rather than calling endpoints directly via fetch.

When instantiating the Anthropic client, refer to the code in lib/integrations-anthropic-ai/src/client.ts for how to initialize with the env vars.

When building features on Agent Stack (Agents and Automations), use AI_INTEGRATIONS_ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and AI_INTEGRATIONS_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY when instantiating the Anthropic client.

For any tasks that require multiple/many LLM calls, you MUST use retries with backoff and rate limiters. Use the batch utilities module for guidance.

Do not eagerly upgrade model on existing code unless user explicitly requests it.

If you set a max tokens limit, use 8192 tokens. NEVER set any token limits lower than this unless explicitly requested.

Provided Modules

After copying the template files, these modules are available:

Client (lib/integrations-anthropic-ai/src/client.ts)

• Pre-configured Anthropic SDK client with env var validation
• Throws at startup if AI_INTEGRATIONS_ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL or AI_INTEGRATIONS_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY are missing

Batch utilities (lib/integrations-anthropic-ai/src/batch/)

• batchProcess<T, R>(items, processor, options) - Generic batch processor with rate limiting and retries
• batchProcessWithSSE<T, R>(items, processor, sendEvent, options) - Sequential processor with SSE streaming
• isRateLimitError(error) - Helper to detect rate limit errors

DB Model (lib/db/src/schema/)

• Drizzle schema files for the conversations and messages tables
• Zod validation schemas via drizzle-zod
• TypeScript types for Conversation, Message, and insert types

API Contract (.local/skills/ai-integrations-anthropic/references/openapi.md)

• OpenAPI spec entries for Anthropic chat endpoints under /anthropic/ prefix
• Read this reference and add the entries to lib/api-spec/openapi.yaml

Wiring Instructions

1. Add OpenAPI spec entries

Read .local/skills/ai-integrations-anthropic/references/openapi.md and add the paths, schemas, and tag to lib/api-spec/openapi.yaml. Endpoints are prefixed with /anthropic/ (e.g. /anthropic/conversations).

2. Run codegen

pnpm --filter @workspace/api-spec run codegen

3. Export the DB model

Update the existing db package barrel file so migrations pick up the tables. Do not overwrite the existing lib/db/src/schema/index.ts when copying files. Add:

export * from "./conversations";
export * from "./messages";

This is critical — the conversations and messages tables must be exported from @workspace/db so database migrations create them.

4. Run database migration

pnpm --filter @workspace/db run push
# If it fails with column conflicts:
pnpm --filter @workspace/db run push-force

5. Implement routes

Add routes in artifacts/api-server/src/routes/anthropic/. Use generated @workspace/api-zod schemas for validation and @workspace/db for database queries. Import anthropic from @workspace/integrations-anthropic-ai for the SDK client.

For the streaming message endpoint, use anthropic.messages.stream(). You must set SSE headers and send a termination event:

import { anthropic } from "@workspace/integrations-anthropic-ai";

res.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/event-stream");
res.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
res.setHeader("Connection", "keep-alive");

let fullResponse = "";

const stream = anthropic.messages.stream({
  model: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
  max_tokens: 8192,
  messages: chatMessages,
});

for await (const event of stream) {
  if (event.type === "content_block_delta" && event.delta.type === "text_delta") {
    fullResponse += event.delta.text;
    res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify({ content: event.delta.text })}\n\n`);
  }
}

// Save assistant message to DB, then signal completion
res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify({ done: true })}\n\n`);
res.end();

SSE codegen limitation: Orval cannot generate a usable client hook or response Zod schema for this streaming endpoint. The generated @workspace/api-zod schema for SendAnthropicMessageBody (from the sendAnthropicMessage operationId) IS useful for validating the request body, but the response type will be unknown. On the client, consume the stream with fetch + ReadableStream parsing — do NOT use a generated React Query hook for this endpoint.

Mount the router in artifacts/api-server/src/routes/index.ts.

6. Write client-side UI components based on user requirements

7. Batch processing

For batch processing tasks, ALWAYS use the batchProcess utility:

import { batchProcess } from "@workspace/integrations-anthropic-ai/batch";
import { anthropic } from "@workspace/integrations-anthropic-ai";

const results = await batchProcess(
  items,
  async (item) => {
    const message = await anthropic.messages.create({
      model: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
      max_tokens: 8192,
      messages: [{ role: "user", content: `Process: ${item.name}` }],
    });
    const block = message.content[0];
    return block.type === "text" ? block.text : "";
  },
  { concurrency: 2, retries: 5 }
);

For SSE streaming progress:

import { batchProcessWithSSE } from "@workspace/integrations-anthropic-ai/batch";

await batchProcessWithSSE(
  items,
  async (item) => { /* your processor */ },
  (event) => res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify(event)}\n\n`)
);

Drizzle Dependency

The project is expected to use Drizzle ORM with drizzle-zod for validation. Use the provided schema files as-is.

Important

• DO NOT modify the Anthropic client setup - env vars are auto-configured
• DO NOT overwrite the existing db schema barrel when copying files
• DO NOT ask the user for API keys or secrets
