It actually uses the Claude code SDK so it plugs into whatever you already have.

It can use API/CLI or even if you have a private hosted instance.

We're actually working on a remote web app version but its a little trickier to wire up.

These are great questions - thank you!

If it uses the SDK then it's token burn? Or can it "legally" use your Claude.ai MAX account, your subscription account?

Great question - we're going to look into this in-depth.

Not allowed? This is easy to find in the Agent SDK docs

"Unless previously approved, Anthropic does not allow third party developers to offer claude.ai login or rate limits for their products, including agents built on the Claude Agent SDK. Please use the API key authentication methods described in this document instead."

We saw this, but thought it was for Agents calling the API directly. Outworked is just a wrapper around your CLI using the existing agents and sub-agents in your Claude Code installation.

It's a great point though and we'll need to read into this more in-depth. Appreciate you raising this.

Right, pretty sure people got their accounts shut down for doing this kinda thing in the early days of OpenClaw before it was renamed and when it supported login. I guess you can take your chances but API is probably the only safe way to use this.
