Setup

These skills shell out to curl and authenticate via the CAMINO_API_KEY environment variable. Sign up at https://app.getcamino.ai/skills/activate for 100 free calls/month and an API key.

Add your key to Claude Code:

Add to your ~/.claude/settings.json:

json

{
  "env": {
    "CAMINO_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
  }
}

Restart Claude Code.

Alternative — pay-per-request via x402: Camino's paid endpoints also accept HTTP 402 payments in USDC on Base ($0.001/request) from any x402-capable client, with no signup or API key. These skills don't use this path; it's for agents and clients that speak x402 natively.
