Creating an AIAgent with Anthropic

This sample demonstrates how to create an AIAgent using Anthropic Claude models as the underlying inference service.

The sample supports three deployment scenarios:

  1. Anthropic Public API - Direct connection to Anthropic's public API
  2. Azure Foundry with API Key - Anthropic models deployed through Azure Foundry using API key authentication
  3. Azure Foundry with Azure CLI - Anthropic models deployed through Azure Foundry using Azure CLI credentials

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

  • .NET 8.0 SDK or later

For Anthropic Public API

  • Anthropic API key

Set the following environment variables:

$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-anthropic-api-key"  # Replace with your Anthropic API key
$env:ANTHROPIC_CHAT_MODEL_NAME="claude-haiku-4-5"  # Optional, defaults to claude-haiku-4-5

For Azure Foundry with API Key

  • Azure Foundry service endpoint and deployment configured
  • Anthropic API key

Set the following environment variables:

$env:ANTHROPIC_RESOURCE="your-foundry-resource-name"  # Replace with your Azure Foundry resource name (subdomain before .services.ai.azure.com)
$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-anthropic-api-key"  # Replace with your Anthropic API key
$env:ANTHROPIC_CHAT_MODEL_NAME="claude-haiku-4-5"  # Optional, defaults to claude-haiku-4-5

For Azure Foundry with Azure CLI

  • Azure Foundry service endpoint and deployment configured
  • Azure CLI installed and authenticated (for Azure credential authentication)

Set the following environment variables:

$env:ANTHROPIC_RESOURCE="your-foundry-resource-name"  # Replace with your Azure Foundry resource name (subdomain before .services.ai.azure.com)
$env:ANTHROPIC_CHAT_MODEL_NAME="claude-haiku-4-5"  # Optional, defaults to claude-haiku-4-5

Note: When using Azure Foundry with Azure CLI, make sure you're logged in with az login and have access to the Azure Foundry resource. For more information, see the Azure CLI documentation.
