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
To sign in with your own Amazon Bedrock credentials, follow Sign in with Amazon Bedrock below. To deploy Claude Code across a team, use the manual setup steps and pin your model versions before rolling out.

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.
