AWS Launches Claude Apps Gateway for Unified Access Control

AWS announced the Claude apps gateway for AWS, a self-hosted control plane that provides a single point for managing access, costs, and policies for Claude Code and Claude Desktop. The official blog demonstrates how to set up and run the gateway using Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS. This feature allows enterprises to manage permissions, monitor API call expenses, and enforce security policies for all employees using Claude tools in one place. For teams using Claude Code or Desktop, the gateway simplifies administration—no more manual API key setup or individual cost tracking for each developer. IT admins can centrally control who has access, spending limits, and which models or features are available, aiding compliance and cost optimization.
