# Amazon Bedrock

> Connect Amazon Bedrock as an AI Gateway provider

An Amazon Bedrock provider forwards Converse requests to Bedrock Runtime in the region you configure. Use it when clients call Bedrock's Converse API.

See [AI Providers](/manage/ai/providers/overview) if you haven't created a provider before. Field options are in [Provider Configuration](/manage/ai/providers/configuration).

## Defaults

| Setting      | Value                                           |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Upstream URL | You enter the regional Bedrock Runtime base URL |
| Auth type    | Bearer                                          |
| Capabilities | Bedrock Converse                                |

Bedrock Model Invoke (`InvokeModel` / `invoke-with-response-stream`) is available as an extra capability if the client uses that API instead of Converse.

## Configure

1. Sidebar → **AI Gateway** → **Providers** → **Create**.
2. Set **Provider Type** to **Amazon Bedrock**. Capabilities and auth type fill in from the defaults above.
3. Set **Upstream URL** to your regional Bedrock Runtime host, for example `https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com`.
4. Paste a Bearer credential the upstream accepts. Pangolin sends `Authorization: Bearer <key>` on every request.
5. Set **Allow** and **Block** lists. Use Bedrock model ids (for example `anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0` or an inference profile id).
6. Save, then attach the provider to an [AI Gateway resource](/manage/ai/overview).

Add **Bedrock Model Invoke** on the **General** tab if the client calls `/model/{id}/invoke` rather than Converse. Add other capabilities only if this endpoint actually speaks those API formats.

## Clients

Clients that call Bedrock Converse work with the default capability. Claude Code talks Anthropic Messages (`POST /v1/messages`), so it needs a provider that advertises Anthropic Messages, such as [Anthropic](/manage/ai/providers/anthropic), [Microsoft Foundry](/manage/ai/providers/microsoft-foundry), or a [custom](/manage/ai/providers/custom) Anthropic-compatible endpoint.
