Claude on Google Cloud
Run Anthropic’s Claude models inside your Google Cloud project, with help from a certified Anthropic partner.
Claude is available as a first-party partner model on Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI). You call Claude through your own Google Cloud project, pay on your Google Cloud bill, and keep your data inside your existing security and compliance boundary. No Anthropic API key required.
Why Google Cloud
Why run Claude on Google Cloud.
One bill, one contract
Claude usage is billed through Google Cloud and counts toward your Google Cloud commitment.
Your project, your controls
IAM, VPC Service Controls, audit logging, and data residency work the same way they do for the rest of your Google Cloud workloads.
Same models, same API
The official Anthropic SDKs support Google Cloud natively, so code written for the Claude API moves over with a client swap.
Enterprise features
Prompt caching, batch processing, structured outputs, web search, and provisioned throughput are all available on Google Cloud.
Getting Started
Up and running in three steps.
No Anthropic API key. Your Google Cloud identity, your project, and a one-line client swap.
Enable the model
Open Model Garden in the Google Cloud console, find the Claude model you want, and click Enable. Follow the Use Claude on Google Cloud guide.
Authenticate with Application Default Credentials
Claude on Google Cloud uses your Google Cloud identity, not an Anthropic API key.
Swap the client
Use the Google Cloud client from the Anthropic SDK and pass your project ID and region. Anthropic recommends the global region for the widest availability.
quickstart.py
from anthropic import AnthropicVertex client = AnthropicVertex(project_id="your-gcp-project", region="global") message = client.messages.create( model="claude-opus-5", max_tokens=1024, messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude."}], ) print(message.content[0].text)
