There are some environment variables you can set to use Bedrock for your session to force Claude Code to use Bedrock.
export CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL='us.anthropic.claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219-v1:0'
You can also use claude config to set Bedrock as the default provider.
claude config set --global env '{"CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK": "true", "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "us.anthropic.claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219-v1:0"}

Anthropic Claude Messages API - Amazon Bedrock
This topic shows how to use the Anthropic Claude messages API with the base inference operations (InvokeModel or InvokeModelWithResponseStream). However, we recommend that you use the Converse API to implement messages in your application. The Converse API provides a unified set of parameters that work across all models that support messages.
