Connect your Claude subscription through Anthropic in Settings → Connectors → Model providers. You need access to your Claude Pro or Max account and the Model providers option in Cohesive.
To use Cohesive from inside Claude instead, see Connect Claude in the MCP docs.

​
Connect

1

Open the Anthropic connection

Open Settings → Connectors → Model providers. Click Connect beside Anthropic, or Replace to change an existing connection.
2

Start subscription sign-in

Select Subscription under Credential Type, then click Connect Anthropic. The Anthropic authorization page opens in another window.
3

Approve with your Claude account

Sign in to the account whose subscription you want to use and approve the connection. Copy the whole code Anthropic shows after approval.
4

Paste the code into Cohesive

Return to the connection dialog, paste the complete code into Paste the code, and click Finish connecting. The Anthropic row shows your connected account.
5

Choose Claude for a new chat

Open a new chat or Canvas session. Before sending the first message, select Claude in the agent picker, choose a model, and check for your subscription beside it.
Cohesive refreshes the connection as needed. You don’t need to generate a subscription token in a terminal.

​
The Anthropic window didn’t open

Click Open it again in the Cohesive dialog, then complete sign-in and bring the code back.

​
The code wasn’t accepted

Paste the whole code from the authorization you just started. If that authorization expired, close the dialog and start the connection again to get a fresh code.

​
The connection works, but the chat uses platform credits

Connecting a subscription doesn’t change an existing conversation’s agent. Start a new chat and select Claude before its first message. The Cohesive option continues to use platform credits; OpenCode doesn’t use subscription credentials. If the Anthropic row shows Error, use Replace to sign in again. Check the funding label before continuing.

​
Manage the connection

Use Replace to switch Claude accounts or Disconnect to remove the connection. Your subscription is personal to your account in the current Cohesive organization. It doesn’t import Claude conversations or give teammates access to your subscription. Read Model providers for credit accounting and Choose an agent for conversation and model controls.
