mobster login

Save your Claude or OpenAI key for Mobster’s agent, on this Mac. Mobster tests the key with one tiny request first, then saves it in Mobster’s settings file, which only you can read. Mobster for Mac and every mobster command use it. The key is never shown: only its first characters and last four. mobster login <plan or provider> saves a plan’s key or sign-in (Kimi Code, Grok …) or another provider’s key. A ChatGPT, Claude or Google plan runs through your own Codex, Claude Code or Gemini CLI, which signs in itself: mobster login codex says how. mobster login status shows which keys, plans and providers are saved.
