Claude Managed Agents now self-hosted on your servers - tbreak.com
Companies can now run the entire Claude Managed Agents service on their own servers, keeping agent records and credentials in-house, Anthropic announced.
Until now, customers could only host the sandbox where an agent runs its tools, while Anthropic handled credentials and records. Now an agent that triages alerts or fixes broken builds can leave its full history on the company's own servers. The option was announced in Anthropic's Claude Platform release notes on November 12, with Help Net Security being first to report it.
Full service control
With this update, customers run the entire Managed Agents service on their own infrastructure, storing agents, sessions, and session history locally. According to Anthropic's documentation, this includes running the server, its PostgreSQL database, and the workers where agents use shell and file tools.
You run the whole Managed Agents service, not only self-hosted sandboxes, on your own infrastructure, and you store agents, sessions, and session history there.
Model remains external
Self-hosting changes who runs the server, not where Claude runs. Each time an agent asks Claude something, the request still goes to a model provider. The server sends model requests to Anthropic by default, but customers can also choose Amazon Bedrock, Claude Models on Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry, or their own model gateway.
Implementation requirements
Customers must run and secure the server, database, and sandboxes, and install each release themselves. A persistent deployment requires PostgreSQL 16 or later; without a database, a restart erases the data. Developer documentation describes Docker Compose for development and Helm charts for production.
Companies already using Anthropic's cloud will need to recreate their agents, skills, vault credentials, and memory stores on the new server. Some features are missing, including webhooks and scheduled runs. The option is currently in private beta, with customers requesting access through their Anthropic account team.
Regional benefits
This self-hosting option could particularly benefit Gulf companies with data-residency rules. However, model calls still leave the network, so buyers need to confirm where their chosen provider processes those requests. The Next Web notes this gives cautious companies more control over where agent data lives, especially relevant in Europe where Christine Lagarde has warned about relying on foreign AI.
