Yes. AWS’s GovCloud-specific guide, published October 5, 2026, documents two ways to connect Claude Code to Claude models through Amazon Bedrock: an interactive setup wizard and environment variables. Before configuring the client, enable access to the chosen model through the linked standard AWS account, then in GovCloud. The exact model, endpoint, and region combination must be verified for your account because service availability does not guarantee that every model or Bedrock API surface is available in both GovCloud regions.

What you need before configuring Claude Code

AWS’s GovCloud Claude Code setup guide lists four prerequisites:

  • An AWS GovCloud account with Amazon Bedrock access.
  • IAM roles and permissions for the Bedrock interface you plan to use.
  • Access enabled for the selected Claude model.
  • AWS CLI credentials, preferably short-term role credentials or AWS IAM Identity Center (SSO), rather than long-lived access keys.

For bedrock-runtime, the guide lists bedrock:InvokeModel, bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream, bedrock:ListInferenceProfiles, and bedrock:GetInferenceProfile. For Mantle, it lists bedrock-mantle:CreateInference, bedrock-mantle:GetProject, bedrock-mantle:ListProjects, and bedrock-mantle:ListModels, or the AmazonBedrockMantleInferenceAccess managed policy.

These are guide-level permission requirements, not a recommendation to grant broad access indiscriminately. Scope actions and resources to your organization’s IAM controls and deployment needs. AWS’s general model-access instructions also describe first-use details and other requirements that can depend on the model; for GovCloud, follow the GovCloud-specific account-link and model-enablement sequence below rather than assuming commercial-region defaults apply unchanged.

Enable the Claude model in GovCloud first

  1. From the standard AWS account linked to the GovCloud account, accept the selected model’s EULA in us-east-1 or us-west-2.
  2. In the GovCloud account, enable the model on the Bedrock Model Access page.
  3. Allow a few minutes for the entitlement to propagate, then check the selected model’s availability for the GovCloud region and endpoint you intend to use.

AWS documents this sequence in its model-access instructions and the regional model availability table. Resolve model entitlement and regional availability before debugging Claude Code credentials or environment variables.

Choose the Bedrock interface for your requirements

AWS’s October 5, 2026 guide distinguishes the standard Bedrock runtime from Bedrock Mantle. Bedrock is offered in both AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East), but that service-level availability does not mean every model or interface works in both regions.

Decision bedrock-runtime bedrock-mantle
Interface AWS SDK InvokeModel and Converse APIs Anthropic Messages API natively
Availability in the October 5, 2026 GovCloud guide US-West and US-East US-West
Guardrails and invocation logging Supported; AWS recommends this route when these controls are needed Not available, according to the guide
Use when Bedrock Guardrails or invocation logging are required Native Messages API support is needed and the regional and feature constraints are acceptable

Confirm the current model-region and feature combination before deployment. AWS’s GovCloud Bedrock page describes regional service availability and model-specific certification information; neither should be read as a promise that every model, endpoint, or workflow is available or authorized for every use.

Install Claude Code and connect it to Bedrock

AWS’s guide covers macOS, Linux, WSL, Windows PowerShell, Windows CMD, and Homebrew installation options. Use the current Claude Code installation documentation for platform-specific installation commands and support.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Interactive setup

  1. Establish AWS CLI credentials for the intended GovCloud account. For an IAM Identity Center profile, AWS documents aws configure sso followed by aws sso login.
  2. Start Claude Code in your project directory and enter /login.
  3. Select 3rd-party platform, then Amazon Bedrock.
  4. Follow the wizard to choose authentication, the GovCloud region (AWS’s example is us-gov-west-1), and model pins.
  5. After launch, confirm the welcome message and run /status to check the provider and model. Existing users can run /setup-bedrock to revise settings.

Environment-variable setup

For a scripted bedrock-runtime configuration, AWS gives this example:

export CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1
export AWS_REGION='us-gov-west-1'
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL='us-gov.anthropic.claude-sonnet-5-5'

The guide’s example for making Opus 5.5 the primary model is us-gov.anthropic.claude-opus-5-5. It also shows ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL and ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL for pinning those aliases. These identifiers are examples in the October 5, 2026 guide, not a guarantee of current availability. Validate the model ID and GovCloud inference-profile support for the target account and region.

For Mantle in GovCloud US-West, the guide shows:

export CLAUDE_CODE_USE_MANTLE=1
export AWS_REGION='us-gov-west-1'

AWS says both CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1 and CLAUDE_CODE_USE_MANTLE=1 may be set when both surfaces are needed in a session. Use bedrock-runtime if Guardrails or invocation logging are required; the guide says those features are exclusive to runtime.

Control model selection, cost, and capacity

Pin the model deliberately with ANTHROPIC_MODEL and, where appropriate, ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL and ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL. AWS’s current guide says Claude Code defaults to Opus 5.5 as the primary model; an unpinned setup may therefore incur that model’s per-token rate. Check current model pricing, set the model behavior your team intends, and monitor token use rather than assuming a fixed cost.

Check inference routing and data residency

Do not infer processing location from an inference-profile prefix alone. AWS distinguishes in-Region inference, where requests stay within the specified Region, from geographic and global cross-Region inference. With an inference profile, requests may route to any destination Region included in that profile; AWS notes that prompts and results may be stored in opt-in Regions for abuse detection.

Use GetInferenceProfile or AWS’s supported Regions and models for inference profiles documentation to inspect destinations. Align the chosen profile with applicable service control policies (SCPs) and IAM policies, and validate the actual route against your residency requirements.

Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Support on Ko-Fi

Treat compliance and developer-machine security separately

A model or service’s certification status does not, by itself, establish that an organization’s complete Claude Code deployment satisfies a compliance obligation. Check the specific model and service status for the intended region, then assess system authorization, data classification, configuration, and organizational risk requirements. AWS’s GovCloud guide explicitly cautions that its approach may not suit every organization or compliance program.

Bedrock governs the inference layer; Claude Code runs on local developer machines and has its own permissions and risk profile. Assess local-machine access and managed Claude Code permissions separately from Bedrock IAM and inference controls.

Optional: centralize enterprise controls with a gateway

AWS separately documents a self-hosted Claude apps gateway for centralized identity, model access, settings, and telemetry. Its prerequisites include OIDC identity, PostgreSQL 14 or later, TLS, and private-network deployment; the documentation lists Claude Code v2.1.195 or later and Bedrock as a supported upstream. This is an optional architecture, not a prerequisite for the direct GovCloud setup above. Confirm region and endpoint compatibility with your deployment team before treating the gateway as suitable for a GovCloud environment. See AWS’s Claude apps gateway setup documentation.

Troubleshoot in dependency order

  • Model access is denied: verify EULA acceptance in the linked standard account, enablement in GovCloud, entitlement propagation, and the chosen model’s regional availability.
  • Credentials fail: confirm the AWS CLI is authenticated to the intended GovCloud account and region, then check that the selected endpoint’s IAM actions are allowed.
  • The model or endpoint is unavailable: validate the current model ID, region, endpoint, and inference-profile support. Bedrock’s presence in a GovCloud region alone is not sufficient proof of model availability.
  • Requests violate residency expectations: inspect inference-profile destination Regions and review SCP/IAM restrictions rather than relying on a profile name.
  • Expected audit controls are missing: use bedrock-runtime when Bedrock Guardrails or invocation logging are required; the current guide does not list these features for Mantle.

For an active deployment, recheck AWS’s dated setup guide and the linked AWS availability and feature pages: model IDs, endpoint features, certifications, routing, quotas, and Claude Code requirements can change.
