Enterprises deploying Claude Code and Claude Desktop across development teams need centralized control over access, cost, and policy. At scale, this is hard to manage: each developer needs an individual credential, settings must be distributed manually, and spend is difficult to track or cap. Without a centralized control point, governance is left to whatever tooling each team can implement independently.

Today, we’re announcing the Claude apps gateway for AWS, a self-hosted control plane that gives organizations a single point of control over access, cost, and policy for Claude Code and Claude Desktop. It replaces the need to provision a separate cloud credential per developer, push settings to every laptop by hand, or stand up separate tooling to track spend. You can deploy it through Amazon Bedrock to keep data within the AWS security boundary, or through Claude Platform on AWS to get the same gateway controls with the native Claude platform experience.
