## Setting Up Provider Keys

1. Go to [firebender.com/settings](https://firebender.com/settings) and open the **Provider Keys** tab.

2. Click **Add** next to the provider you want to configure.

3. Enter your API key and click **Save Key**.

| Provider  | Key format   |
| --------- | ------------ |
| OpenAI    | `sk-...`     |
| Anthropic | `sk-ant-...` |
| Gemini    | `AIza...`    |

## How Keys Are Used

* **Personal accounts** — your key is private to your account and is used when you are not part of an organization.
* **Organization accounts** — keys are shared across all organization members. If a key is configured for the selected model's provider, Firebender uses it automatically. If not, requests fall back to standard platform routing.
