Version History

What This Skill Does
CLI tool for querying Anthropic Admin API usage and cost reports from the terminal. Stores the Admin API key in macOS Keychain. Outputs data as formatted tables or JSON. Note: this package is deprecated; claude-cost-cli is the maintained replacement.
Storing credentials in macOS Keychain avoids plaintext API key files that other CLI tools often require.
When to use it
- Check daily token spend across Claude models
- Pull last 30 days of cost data into a script
- Filter usage by specific API key IDs
- Get hourly granularity on a busy billing period
- Verify total monthly spend before invoice arrives
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

- 1Run `claude-usage config set-key` to store Admin API key in Keychain
- 2Run `claude-usage cost --period 30d` to fetch last 30 days of cost data
- 3Review table output showing Date, Description, Model, Amount (USD), Token Type, and Tier
- 4Run `claude-usage cost --period 30d --sum` to get a single total figure
Table of daily cost breakdown by model plus a total USD figure for the past 30 days
