Turning Databricks into an AI pair‑programmer with Claude‑powered coding agents.

This guide walks through a practical, end‑to‑end setup: installing Claude Code, wiring it to Anthropic models served from Databricks, and configuring authentication so everything “just works” from your terminal and editor. You’ll generate model‑scoped API keys, plug them into Claude’s settings, bypass the default login flow for a smoother developer experience, and finish by testing the workflow directly from the CLI and VS Code.Here are the steps
