Advanced Configuration

Setting Environment Variables

You can pass info like auth tokens dynamically or secrets/api keys as environment variables to your tools:


# Python
adapter.add_environment_variable("API_KEY", "your-api-key")
adapter.add_environment_variable("DEBUG", "true")


// TypeScript
adapter.addEnvironmentVariable("API_KEY", "your-api-key");
adapter.addEnvironmentVariable("DEBUG", "true");

Example use-cases

Passing Authentication Tokens

You can easily pass authentication tokens to your tools after login using environment variables.

Basic Example

Download Tools Screenshot


from anthropic import Anthropic
from reacter_openapitools import AnthropicAdapter
import requests
 
anthropic_client = Anthropic(api_key="your-anthropic-api-key")
adapter = AnthropicAdapter(api_key="your OpenAPI Tools Apikey - https://openapitools.com/dashboard/settings")
 
# Login to get token
login_response = requests.post(
    "http://api.example.com/login",
    json={"username": "user", "password": "pass"}
)
token = login_response.json()["token"]
 
# Pass the token to your tools
adapter.add_environment_variable("token", token)
 
chatbot = adapter.create_anthropic_chatbot(
    anthropic_client=anthropic_client,
    llm_config={"model": "claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219"}
)
 
response = chatbot["invoke"]("Show me my orders")
print(response["text"])

That’s it! Your tools will now have access to the authentication token.
