Authentication

noetect connects directly to Claude's API. You can authenticate using Claude Code or by providing your own API key.

Using Claude Code (Recommended)

If you have Claude Code installed, you can authenticate with a single command:

claude setup-token

This will open a browser window to authenticate with your Anthropic account. Once complete, noetect will automatically detect your credentials.

Using an API Key

Alternatively, you can use your own Anthropic API key:

1. Get your API key from the Anthropic Console
2. Open noetect
3. Go to Settings → API Keys
4. Paste your API key and click Save

Verifying Authentication

To verify your authentication is working:

1. Open noetect
2. Create a new note
3. Type @claude followed by a question
4. If Claude responds, you're all set!

Troubleshooting

"Authentication failed" error

• Make sure your API key is valid and has not expired
• Check that you have sufficient credits in your Anthropic account
• Try running claude setup-token again if using Claude Code

Claude Code not detected

• Ensure Claude Code is installed: brew install claude
• Run claude --version to verify installation
• Try claude setup-token to re-authenticate
