Point Claude Code at Orbit’s Anthropic-compatible gateway. The agent behaves the same as it does on Anthropic — every turn is billed from your organization credits at Bedrock list rates.

How this maps to the API

Claude Code calls Orbit the same way the official Anthropic SDK does: See Anthropic compatibility for raw SDK usage.
Keep a dedicated key named claude-code so you can revoke it without rotating keys used by your app.
