  1. Go to Settings in the sidebar
  2. Find the Anthropic section and click Add Credentials
  3. Enter your Anthropic API key (get one from console.anthropic.com)
  4. Click Save
  1. Go to Settings in the sidebar
  2. Find the OpenAI section and click Add Credentials
  3. Enter your OpenAI API key (get one from platform.openai.com)
  4. Click Save

Connecting GitHub enables powerful features like:

  • Cloning repositories into sessions
  • Creating pull requests from session work
  • Triggering automations from GitHub issues
  1. Go to Settings in the sidebar
  2. Click Connect GitHub
  3. Authorize Cheffed to access your GitHub account
  4. Select which repositories to grant access to

For organization repositories and advanced features:

  1. Go to Settings > GitHub App
  2. Click Install GitHub App
  3. Choose your organization or personal account

If your workflows involve cloud deployments, you can add credentials for:

  • AWS - For S3, Lambda, EC2, and other AWS services
  • Cloudflare - For Workers, Pages, and D1 databases

These are optional and only needed if your agents interact with cloud infrastructure.

To confirm everything is configured correctly:

  1. Go to Settings and verify your credentials show as connected
  2. Create a test session to ensure your AI provider works
  3. If using GitHub, verify your repositories appear in the session creation flow
