How Albert uses Claude.

Claude is optional. If you have it, Albert runs Claude Code for you. This page says what that means, in plain words.

Last checked: 24 October 2026.

What Albert does

Albert runs Claude Code, Anthropic's own program, on your computer.
You install Claude Code yourself, by pressing Install. Albert never installs it on its own.
You sign in to Claude Code yourself, through Claude Code's own sign-in and Anthropic's own page.
Your runs use your own Claude plan and its limits.
Your Claude login stays inside Claude Code.

If Claude Code is installed and signed in on your computer, Albert uses it — nothing else to do.

In Albert, open Settings → AI engines. Not installed? Press Install Claude Code.
Signed out? Press Sign in with Claude. Claude Code's own sign-in opens in a small terminal right inside Albert.
Click the link it shows, and approve on Anthropic's page.
Paste the code back into that terminal, into Claude. It says “Done”, and the Claude row turns green.

The words above the terminal say it plainly: “This is Claude Code's own sign-in. Open the link, approve, and paste the code here, into Claude. Albert never sees or keeps it.” Albert only shows the terminal. It does not record, save or read what goes through it.

On the cloud computer

Your cloud computer is a separate machine, so Claude needs signing in there once. In Settings → Cloud & connection → Setup, press Sign Claude in on the cloud. The same small terminal opens, and the steps are the same. Each person signs in with their own Claude; teammates who don't, use Albert's models there.

What Albert never does

Albert has no Claude sign-in of its own.
Albert never sees, stores or sends your Claude login or tokens.
Albert never pretends to be Claude Code.
Albert never shares one Claude account between people. Each teammate signs in with their own. So does the cloud computer.
Albert never resells Claude.

What runs elsewhere

Chat runs on Albert's own models, not on Claude.
Without Claude, builds, designs and research use Albert's own models instead.
