groups Managed Agents

Specialized agents, ready for your industry.

Anthropic's Claude Managed Agents bring deep, vertical expertise to Claude Cowork — pre-built for the workflows that define entire industries.

Announced May 2026

What are Claude Managed Agents?

Managed Agents are domain-trained agents Anthropic builds and operates — combining Claude's reasoning with industry-specific tools, document understanding, and compliance guardrails. You point them at your work; they handle the rest, inside the same Cowork desktop you already use.

Industries Cowork is ready for

Two industry agents shipped first. More verticals will follow as Anthropic expands the program.

Run them on infrastructure you control

Since May 2026, Managed Agents can run their tools inside a sandbox you own — while Anthropic keeps the agent loop (orchestration, context, and error recovery). Your code, files, and network traffic never leave your environment.

Self-hosted sandboxes

Tool execution runs on your own infrastructure. Bring your sandbox provider — Cloudflare, Daytona, Modal, or Vercel — and keep compute, network policy, and audit logging in-house. (Public beta.)

Private MCP tunnels

Reach private MCP servers through an outbound-only, end-to-end encrypted gateway — no inbound ports, no internal services exposed to the internet. (Research preview.)

Anthropic orchestrates, you execute

Planning, context management, and error recovery stay on Anthropic's side; everything the agent reads, writes, and connects to stays on yours.
