Provide a conversation history as messages and configure model parameters to control the response.
manage_message_batch
Manage Message Batch
Create, retrieve, list, or cancel message batches for asynchronous processing. Batches allow processing large volumes of messages at reduced cost (up to 24 hours).
Use **action** to specify the operation: "create", "get", "list", or "cancel".
list_models
List Models
List available Claude models and their details. Retrieve information about context window size, capabilities, and model identifiers.
Optionally fetch details for a specific model by providing its ID.
manage_api_keys
Manage API Keys
List, retrieve, and update organization API keys via the Admin API. View active, inactive, or archived keys filtered by workspace. Update keys to activate, deactivate, or rename them.
Requires an Admin API key (sk-ant-admin...).
manage_workspaces
Manage Workspaces
Manage organization workspaces and their members via the Admin API. Create, list, update, archive workspaces, and manage workspace membership.

get_organization
Get Organization
Retrieve information about the organization associated with the current Admin API key. Useful for determining which organization a key belongs to and getting organization details.
Requires an Admin API key (sk-ant-admin...).
get_usage_report
Get Usage Report
Retrieve Anthropic Admin API usage and cost reports for an organization. Use message usage reports for token and server-tool usage, and cost reports for USD spend attribution.
manage_files
Manage Files
Upload, list, retrieve metadata for, download, or delete Anthropic Files API files. Uploaded files can be referenced from Messages requests by file ID; generated downloadable files can be retrieved as base64 content.

Run Anthropic through the Metorial gateway
One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.
Give Anthropic and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
Scope which teams and agents can use Anthropic tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
Generate text and analyze images using Claude language models. Send conversational messages with configurable parameters (model, temperature, system prompt) and receive AI-generated responses, with optional streaming. Execute Python code in a sandboxed environment for data analysis and visualizations. Perform web searches for up-to-date information with cited sources. Use tool calling (function calling) to let Claude invoke structured tools during conversations. Enable extended thinking for complex reasoning tasks. Process and analyze images via vision capabilities. Upload and manage files for multi-session analysis. Connect to remote MCP servers for external system integration. Use agent skills for working with PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and PDF files. Count tokens, cache prompts for reduced latency and cost, create message batches for async processing, and enable citations for source attribution. Administer organizations by managing members, workspaces, invites, API keys, and retrieving usage and cost reports.
