To use the Foundry integration ensure you have the following environment variables set:
- ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY
Alternatively you can pass in a azure_ad_token_provider function to the AsyncAnthropicFoundry constructor.
- ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_ENDPOINT
Should be something like https://<your-resource-name>.services.ai.azure.com/anthropic/
- ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_RESOURCE
Should be the resource name portion of your Foundry Anthropic URL, such as <your-resource-name>.
