Claude Model

This section explains how to connect Anthropic Claude as a Gen AI Model data source in DataDios. Once connected, Claude can power AI Studio text-to-SQL, chat, insights, and metadata discovery, and can be bound to AI · reasoning in Manage → Integrations for the whole tenant.

Claude has no embeddings API, so it cannot be used as a RAG embedding source — keep OpenAI, Ollama, or Gemini for that. Everything else (chat, SQL generation, insights) works at parity with the other model connectors.

Prerequisites​

Before connecting, get an Anthropic API key from the Anthropic Console under Settings → API keys. Optionally, create an Admin API key as well if you want the workload Cost dashboard to pull real usage and spend from Anthropic's Admin API.

Steps to Create and Test a Claude Data Source​

Step 1: Create a Data Source​

  1. Navigate to the Data Sources tab in DataDios
  2. Click + CREATE SOURCE
  3. In the data source type dropdown, expand Gen AI Models and select Claude Model

Step 2: Fill Connection Details​

Provide the following parameters (toggle to Json for the raw form):

  • project_name: (Optional) A label to group your models under
  • provider_type: Direct Anthropic (the only provider available today)
  • model_type: The Claude model to use (required, defaults to claude-opus-4-8). The list is refreshed automatically — see Choosing a model below
  • API_KEY: Your Anthropic API key (required, stored encrypted)
  • ADMIN_API_KEY: (Optional) An Anthropic Admin API key, used only to populate the Cost dashboard
  • schedule_sync: (Optional) 15 Minutes, Hourly, or Daily for metadata synchronization

JSON Configuration​

{
   "project_name": "claude_prod",
   "provider_type": "Direct Anthropic",
   "model_type": "claude-opus-4-8",
   "API_KEY": "sk-ant-...",
   "ADMIN_API_KEY": "",
   "schedule_sync": ""
}

Step 3: Test Connection​

  1. Click TEST CONNECTION
  2. A valid key returns Status: OK. The key is never echoed back in any response or log.

Step 4: Save Data Source​

  1. Click CREATE to save the data source
  2. It appears on the Data Sources listing page under Gen AI Models

Choosing a model​

The model_type dropdown is refreshed automatically from a public model catalog at server start, so newly released Claude models appear without a DataDios upgrade. Models that shipped with your release are always present regardless.

See Gen AI Model Catalog for how the list is kept up to date, what network access it needs on-premises, and what changes on upgrade.

note

Some Claude models do not accept the sampling parameters that others do. DataDios detects this and adjusts the request automatically — no configuration needed.

Using Claude with AI Studio​

Once connected, select this data source in AI Studio to ask natural-language questions against your databases and get runnable SQL, chat over your data, and generate insights. See the AI Studio documentation.

To make Claude available to every user in your tenant without each user creating their own model source, bind it to the AI · reasoning role under Manage → Integrations → Catalog.
