Configuration Details

The tool creates a .claude/settings.local.json file in your current directory with the following settings:

{
  "CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK": "1",
  "AWS_REGION": "us-west-2",
  "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "arn:aws:bedrock:...",
  "CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS": "4096",
  "MAX_THINKING_TOKENS": "1024"
}

The tool also automatically updates your .gitignore to exclude the settings file.

AWS Authentication

claude-bedrock-setup supports all standard AWS authentication methods:

• AWS CLI profiles: aws configure
• AWS SSO: aws sso login --profile your-profile
• Environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• IAM roles: When running on EC2 or with assumed roles

Required AWS Permissions

Your AWS credentials need the following permissions:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "bedrock:ListInferenceProfiles",
        "bedrock:GetInferenceProfile"
      ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}

Troubleshooting

"No Claude models found"

This usually means your AWS account doesn't have access to Claude models in Bedrock. To fix:

1. Log into AWS Console
2. Navigate to Amazon Bedrock
3. Go to Model Access
4. Request access to Anthropic Claude models
5. Wait for approval (usually immediate)
6. Run claude-bedrock-setup setup again

"Access Denied" errors

If you're using AWS SSO or assumed roles, ensure your profile is active:

aws sso login --profile your-profile
export AWS_PROFILE=your-profile
claude-bedrock-setup setup

Region-specific issues

Some AWS regions don't support Bedrock. Supported regions include:

• us-east-1 (N. Virginia)
• us-west-2 (Oregon)
• eu-west-1 (Ireland)
• ap-southeast-1 (Singapore)

Use the --region flag to specify a different region:

claude-bedrock-setup setup --region us-east-1
