Overview
This guide explains how to connect Anthropic's Claude Console to Grip.
A single connection process enables access to various Grip features:
Grip's SSPM - Enables you to evaluate essential security settings in your Claude environment, including access controls, authentication policies, data protection, and network security.
NHI - Adding
repositoryandorganizationpermissions will provide visibility into non-human identities (NHI) in Claude.ITDR - Helps identify identity threats from Claude in the ITDR center.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) - Allows you to view Claude accounts when you access the Claude app page
Prompt monitoring - Provides visibility into how AI is actually being used - tracking inputs, monitoring for misuse, and identifying corporate data leakage
Prerequisites
Grip connects to the Claude Console (platform.claude.com) - the developer and API management platform.
This is a separate product from your claude.ai subscription (Team, Pro, Max, or Enterprise).
A free Claude Console Organization can be created on platform.claude.com if one does not exist for your organization.
Required role
Admin role in Claude Console
The integration offers three types of credentials, each serving distinct use cases:
Credential | What Grip uses it for | Grip use cases | Claude Minimum Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
Claude API Key | API usage and access patterns: active workspaces and how keys are scoped across your org | SSPM | Individual - Free |
Admin API Key | Organization-level configuration: user roles, permissions, and SSO/authentication policies | SSPM, NHI, ITDR | Claude Team or Enterprise |
Compliance Access Token | Data and privacy controls, audit log configuration, and data retention policies | SSPM, IAM, Prompt Monitoring | Claude Enterprise |
You will also need your Organization ID to complete the connection. All credentials are retrieved from the Claude Console at platform.claude.com. | |||
Note
A single credential is sufficient to establish the connection, as SSPM uses one key for all three posture checks.
Adding more credentials expands coverage to additional use cases such as NHI, ITDR, IAM, and Prompt monitoring, and unlocks more posture checks. Policies lacking a matching key will display a Review status instead of Pass or Fail.

Click on Add Tenant.
Once connected, you will be redirected to the Posture Checks tab filtered to your tenant's policies. The status will initially show Retrieving until synchronization is complete. Afterward, each check will display Pass, Fail, or Review.
Checks that show Review indicate that the corresponding API key was not provided during connection setup.
The Connected tag will display on the Claud tile in the Integrations Catalog, and the connected service will be highlighted in green to confirm the connection.
