Anthropic Provider

The Anthropic provider integrates Reveal SDK AI with Anthropic's Claude models, providing access to the Claude family of AI assistants.

Installation

Install the Anthropic provider NuGet package:

dotnet add package Reveal.Sdk.AI.Anthropic

Configuration

Basic Setup

Add the Anthropic provider in your Program.cs:

using Reveal.Sdk;
using Reveal.Sdk.AI;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddControllers().AddReveal();

builder.Services.AddRevealAI()
    .AddAnthropic(options =>
    {
        options.ApiKey = builder.Configuration["RevealAI:Anthropic:ApiKey"];
    });

var app = builder.Build();
app.MapControllers();
app.Run();

Using appsettings.json

The provider automatically binds to the RevealAI:Anthropic configuration section:

appsettings.json

{
  "RevealAI": {
    "Anthropic": {
      "ApiKey": "sk-ant-your-api-key-here",
      "Model": "claude-opus-4-1",
      "MaxTokens": 4096
    }
  }
}

With configuration binding, no code options are needed:

builder.Services.AddRevealAI()
    .AddAnthropic();

Options

Property	Type	Default	Description
ApiKey	string	""	Required. Your Anthropic API key.
Model	string	"claude-opus-4-1"	The Claude model to use.
MaxTokens	int	4096	Maximum number of tokens to generate in the response.

Available Models

Anthropic offers several Claude models. Here are some commonly used options:

Model	Description
claude-opus-4-1	Most capable model for complex tasks (default)
claude-sonnet-4-5	Balanced performance and speed
claude-haiku-3-5	Fastest and most cost-effective

builder.Services.AddRevealAI()
    .AddAnthropic(options =>
    {
        options.ApiKey = builder.Configuration["RevealAI:Anthropic:ApiKey"];
        options.Model = "claude-sonnet-4-5";
        options.MaxTokens = 8192;
    });
