# Credentials

> Connect the accounts, tools, and models your agents work with.

**Configuration → Credentials** is where you give agents access to the outside world.
It has two halves: **Built-in Connections** for accounts OpenHive integrates with
directly, and **API Keys** for the long tail of everything else.

Search across both from the top of the page.

## Built-in Connections

These are first-class integrations, authorized over OAuth rather than by pasting a key.

| Connection  | Unlocks                                                                                                       |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Google**  | Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, and Sheets. One Google grant covers every OpenHive tool that hits a Google API. |
| **GitHub**  | Repos, issues, pull requests, and actions. Fine-grained and classic personal access tokens both work.         |
| **HubSpot** | Contacts, deals, marketing emails, and pipelines. Used by sales queens that update HubSpot directly.          |
| **Notion**  | Connects through an internal integration token.                                                               |

A connection can hold **multiple accounts** — use **Add another account** when you need
separate identities for separate workspaces or clients.

### Alert channels

**Telegram** and **Slack** are connected here too, but they carry alerts rather than
data. Connect one and you get pinged when a colony stalls — and you can reply in the
chat to keep it moving, without opening the app.

<Tip>
  Alert channels are enabled per colony, in that colony's **Automations** tab, not
  globally. Connecting the channel here only makes it available.
</Tip>

## API Keys

Everything else is an API key. The catalog is large — several hundred entries covering
CRMs, enrichment and data providers, warehouses, databases, and email delivery. Each
entry lists exactly the fields it needs, from a single key to a full connection (host,
port, database, user, password).

Sort by **Most used** to surface the common ones, or search if you know what you want.
Several entries link to **How to get key**, which saves hunting through a provider's
docs.

<Note>
  The catalog is broader than what OpenHive can currently complete a connection for.
  Entries that aren't wired up yet show **Connect** disabled, so you can see what's
  coming without starting a flow that can't finish.
</Note>

## Model providers

Your model keys live in the same API Keys section. By default agents run on OpenHive's
routed model pool, drawing on your bundled allotment; adding your own provider key
bypasses that allotment and bills you directly with the provider.

| Provider       | Notes                                                                                 |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Anthropic**  | Claude Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku.                                                       |
| **DeepSeek**   | V3 and R1 reasoning models. Cheap throughput for bulk tool-using turns.               |
| **Groq**       | LPU-backed inference for sub-second responses — Llama and Mixtral at high throughput. |
| **Moonshot**   | Kimi K2 with 1M+ token context. Good for long-document and multi-file agents.         |
| **OpenRouter** | Open-source model proxy — Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Mixtral and more behind one key.     |
| **OpenHive**   | The routed pool. Used as the fallback when no other provider key is configured.       |

<Tip>
  For high-volume work — bulk enrichment, large prospect lists — a DeepSeek or Groq key
  is usually the cheapest way to scale it. See
  [Credits and plans](/account/credits).
</Tip>

<Warning>
  Credentials are held for use by the runtime on your machine. Treat the machine running
  OpenHive as you would any machine holding production API keys.
