Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_AUTH_TOKEN Environment Variable

Token-based authentication is now supported for Amazon Bedrock Foundry alongside the existing ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY. When ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_AUTH_TOKEN is set, it is used directly as a bearer token instead of deriving credentials from the API key.

Usage
export ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_AUTH_TOKEN="my-bearer-token"
claude
Details
  • Token-based auth is checked first; API key auth is used as fallback
  • Useful when a bearer token is injected by infrastructure (e.g. IAM credential vending)
  • Both variables are now shown in /doctor
