Prerequisites
Before configuring Claude Code with Amazon Bedrock, ensure you have:- An AWS account with Amazon Bedrock access enabled
- Access to desired Claude models (for example, Claude Sonnet 4.6) in Amazon Bedrock
- AWS CLI installed and configured (optional - only needed if you don’t have another mechanism for getting credentials)
- Appropriate IAM permissions
Sign in with Bedrock
If you have AWS credentials and want to start using Claude Code through Amazon Bedrock, the login wizard walks you through it. You complete the AWS-side prerequisites once per account; the wizard handles the Claude Code side.1
Enable Anthropic models in your AWS account
In the Amazon Bedrock console, open the Model catalog, select an Anthropic model, and submit the use case form. Access is granted immediately after submission. See Submit use case details for AWS Organizations and IAM configuration for the permissions your role needs.
