Am I able to use Archon with my Claude Max subscription?

[csells]

Congrats on your 1.0 release! In doing through the most recent video, it seems like the way to use Archon with Claude Code is via an API key only? Did I get that right? Or can I use Archon with my Claude Max subscription? Likewise with my auth-based access to Gemini and Codex -- do I need an API key or will Archon use my coding agents as they're configured?

Yes and No, it depends xD

But for real:
For Task Management purposes, so to steer your agent (Claude Code) you can use Archon with your claude subscription (just set Archon up properly as MCP server within Claude Code)

For RAG/Knowledge Management you will need an API key, I would suggest to load up like 10USD for that api key and it should last you a loooong time. Without that key you won't be able to use knowledge management portion of Archon.

Hope that clears it up.
