Agents run on models from external providers. To call a provider’s model, register that provider’s API key with the workspace first. Nora doesn’t resell tokens. You bring the key from your own provider account, and the provider bills those tokens directly.

​
Keys belong to the workspace

  • Keys are registered to the workspace, not to a person. Add once; every Flow in the workspace uses it.
  • Values are masked on save and never shown again. To change one, overwrite it with a new value (Replace).
  • Keeping keys per workspace splits usage cleanly on the provider’s own dashboard.

​
Adding a key

Settings → Providers lists every supported provider under External API keys, each with its key slot: Press Add key on a provider’s row, paste the key (input is masked), and save. A connected provider shows a connected badge with Replace / Remove. Keys can also be set from the CLI — see nora providers.

​
Removing a key

Remove deletes the key. Anything that used that provider fails on its next call until a new key is added.

​
Billing

External LLM token costs are billed by the provider on your key; they never appear on Nora’s invoice. Nora’s own usage fees are separate; see Plans. If you route to an in-house endpoint instead (see Internal resources), there’s no external token cost at all.
