Building apps with Claude requires specific technical steps. You must use the Messages API to connect your application to Anthropic models.

Follow these rules for better results:

  • Use current model IDs. Model names and prices change. Copy strings directly from the console or documentation. Do not use old blog posts.
  • Use tool calling for actions. Claude requests actions like HTTP calls or database queries. Your server executes these tasks.
  • Validate all arguments. Use schemas to check tool arguments before your server runs them.
  • Ensure machine-readable output. Combine tool use with strict validation in your code.
  • Treat model output as untrusted. Parse the data before you use it in your app.

Security and cost management matter too.

  • Rotate your API keys often.
  • Log every request ID for support.
  • Monitor token usage to stay within your budget.
