What

Usage
/setup-bedrockDetails
- Supports four authentication methods: AWS SSO profile, Bedrock API key (bearer token), access key + secret, or existing environment credentials
- Auto-discovers AWS profiles from
~/.aws/configand~/.aws/credentials - Verifies credentials by calling STS
GetCallerIdentityand listing Bedrock inference profiles - Model pinning step tests each candidate (Sonnet, Opus, Haiku) with a one-token request to verify availability
- Saves configuration to
~/.claude/settings.jsonunderenv: - Handles SSO session expiry, invalid credentials, and missing permissions with specific guidance
- Only visible when
CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1is already set
Evidence
Bedrock wizard UI components (search for "Set up AWS Bedrock", "Bedrock configuration saved to ~/.claude/settings.json", "How do you authenticate to AWS?")
