Bug Description
It appears that there is no documentation nor environment variables (CLAUDE_CODE_USE_DATABRICKS) within Claude Code that would indicate support for consuming Anthropic's API via Databricks workspaces. This might be a significant blocker for Azure environments and organisations that don't want to create AWS or GCP accounts to use Claude within a corporate setting.

I believe the main question is if Antropic plans to actually support Claude via DataBricks
It's not really a bug report, it should be a feature request
Perhaps.
Why should Bedrock be supported and not Databricks? Databricks is natively supported by Anthropic
technically you can, claude code support LiteLLM as proxy and you can expose databricks LLMs via LiteLLM.
see technical blog here - https://community.databricks.com/t5/technical-blog/simplifying-multi-model-llm-development-a-developer-s-guide-to/ba-p/80623
so claude code -> LiteLLM -> databricks claude model
but yeah would be great if claude cod eenterprise support expands to more providers.
I'm happy to be corrected on this but "LiteLLM" with Claude code is a "hack" and not something that is supported
You are right LIteLLM is proxying to LLM providers not supported natively in Claude Code. I would think if this as a work around. We do absolutely need native support. My comment was more of "while waiting for native databricks support we can use this as a workaround."
Is there any workaround besides LiteLLM? I tried LiteLLM, however it only works when thinking mode is disabled.
Closing as we now support Azure! https://code.claude.com/docs/en/microsoft-foundry

I have built this over past few weeks to support claude code via databricks LLM Api's. Please have a look at the project.
