Azure AI Foundry Claude

Use Claude models through Azure AI Foundry. This uses Anthropic’s native Messages API instead of the chat completions endpoint that Azure AI Foundry uses for other models.

Installation

uv pip install -U anthropic agno

Authentication

Set your ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_RESOURCE environment variables.

export ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY=***
export ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_RESOURCE=***

setx ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY ***
setx ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_RESOURCE ***

Authenticate with an Azure AD token provider instead of an API key by passing azure_ad_token_provider to the Claude constructor.

Example

Use Claude with your Agent:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.azure.claude import Claude

agent = Agent(
    model=Claude(id="claude-sonnet-4-6"),
)

# Print the response on the terminal
agent.print_response("Share a 2 sentence dramatic story.")

You can also use the string syntax:

agent = Agent(model="azure-foundry-claude:claude-sonnet-4-6")
