Run Claude in Your Own GCP Project (Vertex AI Model Garden + Cloud Shell Setup)
This video walks through running Claude inside your own Google Cloud Project using Vertex AI Model Garden without using Anthropic’s dashboard. It shows how to find Claude in Model Garden, select and enable a specific model (done per model), and complete the required prompts like contact email before starting. Then it moves to Google Cloud Shell, installs the Anthropic SDK with npm, sets environment variables for the chosen Claude model and the required Google Cloud region variable, and authenticates with your Google account by pasting the provided code. After trusting the folder, Claude is running in Cloud Shell using the Vertex AI Model Garden model within your company’s GCP security parameters, positioning this as a fast, clean path for organizations with a Google Cloud contract.
