# Claude Code

> Anthropic's coding CLI — via the Anthropic API, an internal gateway, or a cloud identity.

**Claude Code** (`claude`) is Anthropic's agentic coding CLI. It's the default
agent and the only one that supports the full range of **providers** — so you can
point it at the Anthropic API directly, at an internal gateway, or at a cloud
model backend that authenticates with workload identity.

## Providers

Set the provider once per org in **Admin → Agent LLM**:

| Provider             | How it authenticates                                 | Needs a stored key?  |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| **Anthropic API**    | Direct API with your Anthropic key                   | Yes                  |
| **Internal gateway** | Anthropic-compatible proxy at your endpoint          | Yes (endpoint + key) |
| **AWS Bedrock**      | IRSA / workload identity (region from deployment)    | No                   |
| **Google Vertex AI** | Workload identity (project/location from deployment) | No                   |
| **Azure AI**         | Managed identity (resource from deployment)          | No                   |

<Note>
  Only **Anthropic** and **Internal gateway** need a stored API key. Bedrock, Vertex, and Azure
  authenticate through the cloud's own identity — no key is stored, and the agent process never sees
  cloud credentials.
</Note>

## Set it up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Admin → Agent LLM">Org-admin only.</Step>

  <Step title="Pick the provider">
    Choose Anthropic API, Internal gateway, Bedrock, Vertex, or Azure.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the model">
    A free-text field with suggestions (e.g. `claude-opus-4-8`, `claude-sonnet-5`). It's free-text
    because Bedrock/Vertex take inference-profile IDs or ARNs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the API key (Anthropic / gateway only)">
    The key is **write-only** — you set it, and the UI only ever shows whether one is configured,
    never the value.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Using it in a task

Pick **Claude Code** in the New Task **Agent** dropdown. If your org has more than
one Claude model allowed, a **Model** dropdown lets you choose per task — run one
task on Opus and another on Haiku, all on the same configuration.

Claude Code also powers the non-code experiences (**Cowork** assistant and
**Design**), which are pinned to Claude.

<Tip>
  Using a gateway? Make sure the endpoint is the **origin** (no trailing `/v1`) — see [Internal
  gateway](/agents/internal-gateway) for why.
