# Azure AI Foundry Claude

> Use Claude models through Azure AI Foundry with Agno agents.

Use Claude models through Azure AI Foundry. This provides a native Claude integration optimized for Azure AI Foundry infrastructure.

## Installation

```bash theme={null}
uv pip install -U anthropic agno
```

## Authentication

Set your `ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY` and `ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_RESOURCE` environment variables.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Mac theme={null}
  export ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY=***
  export ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_RESOURCE=***
  ```

  ```bash Windows theme={null}
  setx ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY ***
  setx ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_RESOURCE ***
  ```
</CodeGroup>

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`:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python agent.py theme={null}
  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.")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can also use the string syntax:

```python theme={null}
agent = Agent(model="azure-foundry-claude:claude-sonnet-4-6")
```
