Feature availability

Compare which Claude Code features are available across Anthropic subscription plans, the Anthropic Console, Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, and Microsoft Foundry.

The Claude Code CLI and everything that runs locally work on every provider. For setup instructions per provider, see the Enterprise deployment overview. To skip straight to what is missing on your provider, see the summary by provider tabs.

In the tables below, ✓ means available, ✗ means not available, and "See note" links to a footnote for partial support. A qualifier after ✓ narrows availability to that subset, and "Admin-enabled" means the feature is off until an organization admin turns it on.

Availability by model provider

How you authenticate determines which features Claude Code can reach. For a single list of what is missing on your provider, see the summary by provider tabs. To find your column in the tables:

• Claude subscription: you sign in with a claude.ai account on the Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan
• Anthropic Console: you authenticate with an Anthropic API key or by signing in to a Console account without one
• Amazon Bedrock: you use Claude models from the Amazon Bedrock model catalog and set CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK. The Mantle endpoint (CLAUDE_CODE_USE_MANTLE) is covered by this column
• Claude Platform on AWS: you bought Claude through AWS Marketplace but call the Anthropic API, and set CLAUDE_CODE_USE_ANTHROPIC_AWS
• Google Cloud's Agent Platform: Google-operated; you set CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX
• Microsoft Foundry: Anthropic-operated; you set CLAUDE_CODE_USE_FOUNDRY

Features available on every provider

These work on every provider:

• CLI and Agent SDK
• VS Code and JetBrains extensions
• Subagents, hooks, commands, and skills
• CLAUDE.md memory, plugins, and MCP servers
• Checkpoints, sandboxing, and Workflows
• OpenTelemetry metrics and the managed settings file

These have provider-specific differences:

• CLAUDE.md memory: CLAUDE.md files load on every provider. Reading AGENTS.md files as project instructions also requires a session that fetches feature flags
• MCP servers: connectors from claude.ai load only when your claude.ai subscription is the active authentication method. Tool search is off by default when ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL points to a non-first-party host, and isn't supported on Google Cloud's Agent Platform models earlier than the Claude 4.5 generation or on Microsoft Foundry deployments hosted on Azure
• Subagents: the built-in Explore subagent caps its inherited model at Opus on the Claude API, and inherits the main conversation's model directly on any other provider, including Claude Platform on AWS
• Commands:
  • /design-sync and /import with its claude import subcommand form are unavailable on Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry, and Claude Platform on AWS, and through a Claude apps gateway
  • /voice requires a claude.ai account
  • /list-agents and its alias /peers are available only in sessions where cross-session messaging is enabled

Features that require a Claude subscription

These require signing in with a claude.ai account and are not reachable with an Anthropic Console API key or from a third-party provider:

• Cloud sessions, Claude Code on mobile, and Claude Code in Slack
• Claude Code Desktop
• Routines (/schedule)
• Ultrareview
• Code Review: Team and Enterprise plans
• Remote Control
• Chrome extension
• Computer use: Pro and Max plans
• Artifacts: Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans
• Voice dictation

Desktop is the partial exception: gateway routing can be configured in the app or by an administrator, Enterprise deployments can route Desktop to Google Cloud's Agent Platform or a gateway provider via managed settings, and Claude Desktop on 3P runs the Code tab on Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry, or a self-hosted LLM gateway. For per-plan availability of these features, see Availability by subscription plan.

CLI capabilities that vary by provider

These features work in the local CLI but depend on a server-side capability that not every provider exposes.

1 On Google Cloud's Agent Platform, web search is available for Claude 4 models and later.
2 On these providers, auto mode supports only Claude Sonnet 5, Opus 4.7 or later, and the Fable models. See Auto mode configuration. The built-in starting permission mode on these providers is Manual. See which mode a session starts in. In v2.1.158 through v2.1.206, auto mode on these providers also required setting CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1; v2.1.207 removed the requirement.
3 Subject to your agreement with the cloud provider.
4 Dashboard and API only. Contribution metrics requires a claude.ai Team or Enterprise organization.
5 Requires Claude Code v2.1.224 or later on macOS and Linux, including Linux inside WSL 2. On native Windows, requires Claude Code v2.1.234 or later. With API key authentication, messaging is same-machine only. On Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, and Microsoft Foundry, messaging is same-machine only and requires Claude Code v2.1.248 or later. Claude can find your cloud sessions and your sessions on other machines only from a session that is connected to Remote Control. To connect, you need a claude.ai sign-in and the other Remote Control requirements. See Message sessions on other machines.

If you authenticate through an LLM gateway, feature availability matches the underlying provider the gateway forwards to, except for the features Claude Code itself turns off. Whenever ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL points at a host other than api.anthropic.com, Claude Code turns off features such as Remote Control and server-managed settings, whatever the gateway forwards. Some Anthropic-only features such as the Advisor work only if the gateway forwards requests intact to the Anthropic API.

For how the requests Claude Code sends differ between an Amazon Bedrock- or Agent Platform-format gateway, an ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL gateway, and a Claude apps gateway sign-in, see client behavior by connection method.

Summary by provider

Each tab lists what is unavailable or partially supported on that provider, with alternatives where one exists. Everything not listed works the same as on a Claude subscription, apart from the provider-specific differences noted above. On Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry, and Claude Platform on AWS, error reporting and telemetry to Anthropic are off by default. See default behaviors by API provider for what traffic still reaches Anthropic and how to opt out.

Availability by subscription plan

If you authenticate through Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry, or an Anthropic Console API key, this section does not apply to you. When you sign in with a claude.ai account, your plan determines which of the features below are available.

6 On Enterprise, requires a premium seat or a Chat + Claude Code seat. See Use Claude Code in the cloud.
7 Not included in the standard Enterprise plan. Requires separate enablement by Anthropic for qualified accounts. See Zero Data Retention.

For pricing and the full plan comparison, see Team plans and Enterprise plans.

Model availability

For which Claude models and context-window sizes are available per provider and region, see Model configuration and the Models overview. Vision, PDF input, and extended thinking are model capabilities rather than Claude Code features and work on every provider that offers the model. Prompt caching works the same way on most providers; on Amazon Bedrock, support varies by model.
