# Settings: AI & access tokens

> Configure your own AI model (bring-your-own-key), toggle cloud sync, and create personal access tokens (PATs) for AI tools.

**Settings** (**Settings** in the left sidebar) has three main areas: model configuration, cloud sync, and personal access tokens.

## Model Configuration (bring your own key)

AI (AI Lab, AI PDF import) runs on the backend and needs you to be **signed in** (cloud mode). Instead of platform credits you can bring your own API key — in **Settings → Model Configuration**, fill in:

* **API Provider** (OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini, etc.)
* **API Key**
* **Model**
* **Base URL**, **Max Tokens** (under "Advanced")

Click **Test connection**; **Connected** means it works and the status becomes **AI ready**.

<Note>
  **The key is stored only in your local browser, never uploaded.** This is also how you use AI in self-hosted / local mode — see [Deploy to Vercel](/en/getting-started/vercel).
</Note>

## Cloud Sync

Toggle sync under **Settings → Cloud Sync** — details in [Cloud sync](/en/guide/cloud-sync).

## Personal Access Tokens (PAT)

Want AI tools like **Claude Code / Cursor** to read and edit your resumes directly? First create a **personal access token**:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a token">
    **Settings → Personal Access Tokens → Create**. It generates a value starting with `mr_pat_…`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy it right away">
    The value is **shown only once**. Treat it like a password — it grants read/write to all your resumes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  A PAT is a key to your resumes. **Don't paste it into chats or commit it to a repo.** If it leaks, come back here to **revoke** it and create a new one.
</Warning>

Then you can [connect AI coding tools](/en/guide/mcp).
