## Documentation

### claude-cost-cli

A CLI for querying Anthropic Admin API usage and cost data. Requires an Admin API key (sk-ant-admin...) from Claude Console → Settings → Admin Keys. Credentials are stored in macOS Keychain.

### Installation

Requires Node.js >= 18 and macOS. The package is fully open source under the MIT license: https://github.com/cyberash-dev/claude-cost-cli

npm install -g claude-cost-cli

The npm package is published with provenance attestation, linking each release to its source commit via GitHub Actions. You can verify the published contents before installing:

npm pack claude-cost-cli --dry-run

Install from source (if you prefer to audit the code before running):

git clone https://github.com/cyberash-dev/claude-cost-cli.git
cd claude-cost-cli
npm install && npm run build && npm link

After installation the claude-cost command is available globally.

### Quick Start

claude-cost config set-key     # Interactive prompt: enter Admin API key (masked)
claude-cost usage              # Token usage for the last 7 days
claude-cost cost               # Cost breakdown for the last 7 days
claude-cost cost --sum         # Total spend for the last 7 days

### API Key Management

Store API key (interactive masked prompt, validates sk-ant-admin prefix):

claude-cost config set-key

Show stored key (masked):

claude-cost config show

Remove key from Keychain:

claude-cost config remove-key

### Usage Reports

### Security and Data Storage

The following properties are by design and can be verified in the source code:

Admin API key: stored exclusively in macOS Keychain (service: claude-cost-cli). By design, never written to disk in plaintext. See src/infrastructure/keychain-credential-store.ts for the implementation.
No config files: all settings are passed via CLI flags. Nothing is stored on disk besides the Keychain entry.
Network: by design, the API key is only sent to api.anthropic.com over HTTPS. No other outbound connections are made. See src/infrastructure/anthropic-usage-repository.ts and src/infrastructure/anthropic-cost-repository.ts.
Scope: the Admin API key grants read-only access to organization usage and cost data. It cannot modify billing, create API keys, or access conversation content. This is a property of the Anthropic Admin API, not just this CLI.
No caching: query results are not cached or persisted to disk. The CLI writes output to stdout only.

### API Reference

This CLI wraps the Anthropic Admin API:

Usage: GET /v1/organizations/usage_report/messages
Cost: GET /v1/organizations/cost_report
