Many of the current agents don't support bedrock by default, but do support custom OpenAI api. This gives a proxy you can run easily in one line on the same machine as your agent , and point your agent to it. Written in go, it's fast, easy to run as a daemon and just works. Works with OpenClaw, Hermes and other agents. ## Supported APIs [](https://github.com/inceptionstack/bedrockify#supported-apis) | API | Endpoint | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | **Chat Completions** | `POST /v1/chat/completions` | Non-streaming and SSE streaming | | **Embeddings** | `POST /v1/embeddings` | Titan, Cohere, Nova embedding models | | **Models** | `GET /v1/models` | List available Bedrock foundation models | | **Health** | `GET /` | Health check with config info | ### Features [](https://github.com/inceptionstack/bedrockify#features) ### Core [](https://github.com/inceptionstack/bedrockify#core) - **Unified proxy** — chat completions + embeddings on a single port - **OpenAI-compatible API** — drop-in for any OpenAI SDK client - **Streaming** — SSE streaming for chat completions with `stream_options.include_usage` support - **Tool use** — function calling via Bedrock Converse (`auto`, `required`, specific tool) - **Vision** — image inputs via base64 data URLs AND remote HTTP/HTTPS URLs - **Model aliases** — short names, OpenRouter IDs, bare Bedrock IDs all work - **Cross-region inference** — auto-prefixes (`us.`, `eu.`, `ap.`, `global.`) based on region ### Intelligence [](https://github.com/inceptionstack/bedrockify#intelligence) - **Reasoning / Extended Thinking** — `reasoning_effort` (low/medium/high) for Claude 3.7/4/4.5 with `reasoning_content` in responses and streaming - **DeepSeek R1 Reasoning** — automatic format detection (string format for DeepSeek, object format for Claude) - **Interleaved Thinking** — `extra_body.thinking` for Claude 4/4.5 thinking between tool calls - **Prompt Caching** — `extra_body.prompt_caching` for up to 90% cost reduction, with `ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING` env var for global default ### Compatibility [](https://github.com/inceptionstack/bedrockify#compatibility) - **Application Inference Profiles** — pass ARN as model ID for cost tracking (no alias mangling) - **Developer role** — `developer` messages treated as system (OpenAI compatibility) - **Message coalescing** — consecutive same-role messages automatically merged (Bedrock requirement) - **No-prefill handling** — models that reject assistant-ending conversations (e.g. claude-opus-4-6) get automatic user continuation - **temperature/topP conflict** — auto-stripped for models that reject both simultaneously (Claude 4.5, Haiku 4.5, Opus 4.5) - **Extra body passthrough** — unknown `extra_body` keys forwarded to Bedrock `additionalModelRequestFields` ### Embedding Models [](https://github.com/inceptionstack/bedrockify#embedding-models) - **Amazon Titan Embed v2** — 1024 dimensions, English + multilingual - **Cohere Embed v3/v4** — English, multilingual, latest v4 (1536 dims) - **Amazon Nova Multimodal Embeddings v2** — configurable dimensions (256/384/1024/3072) - **base64 encoding** — `encoding_format: "base64"` for compact responses ### Infrastructure [](https://github.com/inceptionstack/bedrockify#infrastructure) - **Auth** — IAM/SigV4 (default) or Bedrock API key (bearer token) - **Adaptive retries** — max 8 attempts with adaptive backoff - **Config** — TOML file, env vars, CLI flags (layered priority) - **Systemd daemon** — `install-daemon` subcommand - **Self-update** — `update` subcommand --- ## About the author **Roy Osherove** - Senior Solutions Architect at AWS working on AI for production and AI-driven development; author of The Art of Unit Testing and Elastic Leadership, with about 20 years of consulting and training on unit testing, TDD, team leadership and continuous delivery. ### Sites - [RobotPaper](https://robotpaper.ai/): This blog: AI patterns and anti-patterns, AI and coding agents, and engineering leadership. - [osherove.com](https://osherove.com): Roy's personal site.
