Anthropic launches self-hosted Claude Managed Agents in private beta

Anthropic's Claude Platform release notes revealed self-hosted Claude Managed Agents, letting organizations run the full service, not just sandboxes, on their own infrastructure in a private beta available by request.

Anthropic announced self-hosted Claude Managed Agents on November 12, 2026, in its Claude Platform release notes, giving organizations the option to run the entire Managed Agents service, not only sandboxes, on their own infrastructure through a private beta available by request.

What changes

The entire Managed Agents service, not only sandboxes, can now run on an organization's own cloud or on-premises infrastructure.
Agents, sessions, and session history are stored on the customer's own infrastructure.
Customers operate the Managed Agents server, a PostgreSQL 16+ database, and workers that run agent shell and file tools.
Model requests can route directly to Anthropic, or through Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry, or a custom gateway.
Credentials for MCP tools and APIs stay outside the sandbox and attach via proxy, with support for customers' own secrets managers.
Per-environment host allowlists and full OpenTelemetry audit logging of agent actions are included.

What it means for people who build with AI

The update targets a common blocker for regulated and security-conscious teams that want to adopt agentic coding and operations tools: keeping agent data and execution on-premises while still using Anthropic's models. Because credentials and audit logs stay under customer control, teams building agent workflows gain more direct oversight of what their agents touch and when. Claude's model inference itself still runs outside the customer's network; only the harness, sandbox, and data layers are self-hosted, so organizations adopting this setup still rely on Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Foundry to serve the underlying model.

Availability

Self-hosted Claude Managed Agents is currently in private beta. Organizations can request access through Anthropic's account team.
