Subject: [PATCH] feat: add AWS Bedrock auth support on "claude-local" (#2793)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Closes #2412
Related: #2681, #498, #128
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The Claude Code adapter spawns the `claude` CLI to run agent tasks
> - The adapter detects auth mode by checking for `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` —
recognizing only "api" and "subscription" modes
> - But users running Claude Code via **AWS Bedrock**
(`CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1`) fall through to the "subscription" path
> - This causes a misleading "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is not set;
subscription-based auth can be used" message in the environment check
> - Additionally, the hello probe passes `--model claude-opus-4-6` which
is **not a valid Bedrock model identifier**, causing `400 The provided
model identifier is invalid` and a probe failure
> - This pull request adds Bedrock auth detection, skips the
Anthropic-style `--model` flag for Bedrock, and returns the correct
billing type
> - The benefit is that Bedrock users get a working environment check
and correct cost tracking out of the box
---
## Pain Point
Many enterprise teams use **Claude Code through AWS Bedrock** rather
than Anthropic's direct API — for compliance, billing consolidation, or
VPC requirements. Currently, these users hit a **hard wall during
onboarding**:
| Problem | Impact |
|---|---|
| :x: Adapter environment check **always fails** | Users cannot create
their first agent — blocked at step 1 |
| :x: `--model claude-opus-4-6` is **invalid on Bedrock** (requires
`us.anthropic.*` format) | Hello probe exits with code 1: `400 The
provided model identifier is invalid` |
| :x: Auth shown as _"subscription-based"_ | Misleading — Bedrock is
neither subscription nor API-key auth |
| :x: Quota polling hits Anthropic OAuth endpoint | Fails silently for
Bedrock users who have no Anthropic subscription |
> **Bottom line**: Paperclip is completely unusable for Bedrock users
out of the box.
## Why Bedrock Matters
AWS Bedrock is a major deployment path for Claude in enterprise
environments:
- **Enterprise compliance** — data stays within the customer's AWS
account and VPC
- **Unified billing** — Claude usage appears on the existing AWS
invoice, no separate Anthropic billing
- **IAM integration** — access controlled through AWS IAM roles and
policies
- **Regional deployment** — models run in the customer's preferred AWS
region
Supporting Bedrock unlocks Paperclip for organizations that **cannot**
use Anthropic's direct API due to procurement, security, or regulatory
constraints.
---
## What Changed
- **`execute.ts`**: Added `isBedrockAuth()` helper that checks
`CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK` and `ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_BASE_URL` env vars.
`resolveClaudeBillingType()` now returns `"metered_api"` for Bedrock.
Biller set to `"aws_bedrock"`. Skips `--model` flag when Bedrock is
active (Anthropic-style model IDs are invalid on Bedrock; the CLI uses
its own configured model).
- **`test.ts`**: Environment check now detects Bedrock env vars (from
adapter config or server env) and shows `"AWS Bedrock auth detected.
Claude will use Bedrock for inference."` instead of the misleading
subscription message. Also skips `--model` in the hello probe for
Bedrock.
- **`quota.ts`**: Early return with `{ ok: true, windows: [] }` when
Bedrock is active — Bedrock usage is billed through AWS, not Anthropic's
subscription quota system.
- **`ui/src/lib/utils.ts`**: Added `"aws_bedrock"` → `"AWS Bedrock"` to
`providerDisplayName()` and `quotaSourceDisplayName()`.
## Verification
1. `pnpm -r typecheck` — all packages pass
2. Unit tests added and passing (6/6)
3. Environment check with Bedrock env vars:
| | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| **Status** | :red_circle: Failed | :white_check_mark: Passed |
| **Auth message** | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is not set; subscription-based
auth can be used if Claude is logged in.` | `AWS Bedrock auth detected.
Claude will use Bedrock for inference.` |
| **Hello probe** | `ERROR · Claude hello probe failed.` (exit code 1 —
`--model claude-opus-4-6` is invalid on Bedrock) | `INFO · Claude hello
probe succeeded.` |
| **Screenshot** |
|
|
4. Existing API key / subscription paths are completely untouched unless
Bedrock env vars are present
## Risks
- **Low risk.** All changes are additive — existing "api" and
"subscription" code paths are only entered when Bedrock env vars are
absent.
- When Bedrock is active, the `--model` flag is skipped, so the
Paperclip model dropdown selection is ignored in favor of the Claude
CLI's own model config. This is intentional since Bedrock requires
different model identifiers.
## Model Used
- Claude Opus 4.6 (`claude-opus-4-6`, 1M context window) via Claude Code
CLI
## Checklist

screenshots
- [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes
- [x] I have considered and documented any risks above
- [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before
requesting merge
