Problem Statement
I'd like to use claude desktop for my organization. The organization uses AWS Bedrock. Claude Code CLI can be set up to use AWS Bedrock, but Claude Desktop apparently cannot.
Proposed Solution
At the very least, enable storage of AWS Bedrock as a login method in .claude.json (e.g. something like below). Ideally, allow it as a login option during startup.
"env": {
"CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK": "1",
"AWS_REGION": "us-east-1",
"AWS_PROFILE": "orgprofile",
"ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL": "anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1:0"
},
"awsAuthRefresh": "aws sso login --profile orgprofile"
