# Claude on Google Vertex

Claude on Google Vertex serves Anthropic Claude models through your own Google Cloud project, so model traffic and billing stay inside your Google Cloud agreement. codev selects the Claude model for you — there is no model field.

## Set up Google Cloud first

Vertex needs one-time setup in your Google Cloud project before you connect it:

1. In the Google Cloud Console, enable the **Vertex AI API** for your project.
2. In **Vertex AI > Model Garden**, enable the Anthropic Claude models you want to use.
3. Create a service account with the **Vertex AI User** role (`roles/aiplatform.user`) and create a JSON key for it.
4. Confirm the project has quota for the Claude model — a new project starts at `0`.

The full Google-side steps, including quota, are in [Claude on Vertex AI](https://docs.flxbl.io/sfp-server/configuring-ai-providers/claude-on-vertex-ai).

## Connect it

1. Go to **Settings > Organization > Integrations** and open the **Claude on Google Vertex** card.
2. Enter the **Google Cloud Project ID**, a **Region** (`us` or `eu`), and paste the **service-account JSON key**.
3. Set **Availability** to **Global** — optionally the default for AI — or a **specific project**.
4. Click **Add Integration**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flxbl.io/flxbl/codev/integrations/ai-providers/claude-on-vertex.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
