Anthropic released the Claude apps gateway on June 29, 2026, a self-hosted control plane that lets enterprises run Claude Code through Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Foundry with corporate single sign-on, centralized policy, and per-user cost tracking. For platform and security teams, the gateway closes a governance gap that has slowed coding-agent rollouts past pilot teams: it replaces per-developer cloud credentials with short-lived SSO sessions, enforces spend caps by organization, group, or user, and routes inference across providers with automatic failover. The gateway runs as a single stateless container backed by PostgreSQL and ships inside the same claude binary developers already install. Anthropic says it sends no inference traffic or usage data back to the company unless a customer configures the Claude API directly, and it is publishing the underlying gateway protocol so other vendors can build compatible tools.
