Anthropic Makes Claude Managed Agents Self-Hosted
Anthropic opened a private beta for self-hosted Claude Managed Agents, allowing companies to run the agent harness, sandboxes, credentials, database, and session history in their own cloud or data center. Prompts, tool inputs, and results still flow to a chosen inference provider, including Claude API, Bedrock, Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry, or a custom gateway. [Announcement](https://claude.com/resources/articles/self-hosted-claude-managed-agents)
This is a meaningful enterprise deployment upgrade, but “self-hosted” describes the control plane and execution environment—not private model inference. Teams gain stronger data residency and operational control while keeping Anthropic or another provider in the inference loop.
- –Keeps agent code, credentials, sandboxes, and session history inside the company’s security perimeter.
- –Supports provider choice and custom gateways, making the platform more compatible with existing model-routing strategies.
- –Separates the agent harness from tool execution, with network allowlists, secret-manager support, and OpenTelemetry tracing.
- –Developers should audit exactly what leaves the network: every model call includes the conversation, tool inputs, and tool results.
- –The private-beta implementation still lacks some hosted features, including scheduled deployments, webhooks, and several prebuilt skills. [Documentation](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/self-hosted-data-and-access)
