Admin API sync is the fastest path to organization-wide cost visibility. It gives you aggregate usage and cost data without changing your application code.

MCP Still Supported

MCP is not being removed. Keep using MCP tools for local workflows while Admin API sync handles org-level provider reporting.

​
When To Use This

  • You want quick visibility with minimal setup
  • You manage usage for a team or organization
  • You do not need per-request hard-stop enforcement yet

​
What You Get

  • Anthropic usage buckets (/v1/organizations/usage_report/messages)
  • Anthropic cost buckets (/v1/organizations/cost_report)
  • Anthropic Claude Code analytics (/v1/organizations/usage_report/claude_code)
  • OpenAI usage buckets (/v1/organization/usage/completions)
  • OpenAI daily costs (/v1/organization/costs)

​
Setup

1

Create provider admin keys

Create an Anthropic Admin key (sk-ant-admin-...) and an OpenAI organization Admin key in each provider console.
2

Connect keys in CostHawk

In CostHawk, add each connection under Integrations/Connections and run a connection test.
3

Wait for first sync

Initial sync usually appears within 5 minutes. Cost endpoints are daily-granularity by provider design.

​
Sync Cadence

  • Usage endpoints: every 5 minutes
  • Cost endpoints: every 5 minutes (daily buckets)
  • Claude Code analytics: hourly

​
Security Model

  • Admin keys are encrypted at rest
  • Plaintext keys are never returned after creation
  • Connection list only shows fingerprint + provider org metadata
  • Connection lifecycle actions are audit logged

​
What Admin API Sync Does Not Replace

  • Hard spending limits / request blocking: use proxy + wrapped keys
  • Google Gemini real-time coverage: use proxy (Google has no equivalent usage API)
