# Connectors

> Connect the credentials a run needs, from the terminal

A run needs three kinds of credential: a harness to drive the agent, a sandbox to run it in, and, for a case that states a human, a model to play them. Each one is a connector.

```bash theme={null}
anpord connectors integrations
anpord connectors add anthropic
anpord connectors list
```

## Adding one

`add` takes the integration and prompts for the secret:

```bash theme={null}
$ anpord connectors add anthropic
API key: ········
Connected anthropic as con_9EKR3ZHZF24TFM16N0WJ
```

There is no `--key` option, and that is deliberate. A secret in a flag is kept in shell history and readable from the process list by anyone on the machine for as long as the command runs. It is prompted for instead.

In a script, pipe it:

```bash theme={null}
echo "$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" | anpord connectors add anthropic --name ci
```

The value is encrypted when it arrives and is never returned. `list` states that a connection exists, not what is in it.

## Model providers

`openai`, `anthropic`, `google`, `xai`, `moonshotai`, `deepseek`, `groq` and `openrouter` all speak the same chat-completions shape, so a case's human runs on whichever one you connect. The first connected provider is the one it uses.

A model judge calls OpenAI's responses API, which the others do not serve, so a case scored by one needs `openai` specifically.

## Choosing the auth method

An integration that accepts more than one way in takes `--auth`:

```bash theme={null}
anpord connectors add codex --auth api-key
```

Run `anpord connectors integrations` to see the methods each one accepts and the fields they need. A method that signs in through a browser cannot be completed from the terminal, and the command says so rather than failing.

## Which connector a run uses

`--default` marks the one runs reach for:

```bash theme={null}
anpord connectors add e2b --default
```

## Removing one

```bash theme={null}
anpord connectors remove con_9EKR3ZHZF24TFM16N0WJ
```

A run already holding the credential finishes; the next one cannot start without another connector for that integration.
