Claude Managed Agents
Connect Claude Managed Agents to let groundcover Agent Mode run coding tasks with your configured Claude agent and environment
The Claude Managed Agents connector lets Agent Mode delegate coding tasks to a Claude agent configured in the Anthropic Console. Unlike connectors such as Notion and GitHub, groundcover communicates with this connector through the Claude Managed Agents API rather than an MCP server. The configured Claude agent can still use its own MCP servers and tools.
Prerequisites
Access to Claude Managed Agents
A Claude API key from the Anthropic Console
An Agent ID
Optional vault IDs and a memory store
Admin: Enable the Connector
Go to Integrations → Connectors → Org Connectors.
Select Claude Managed Agents.
Toggle the connector to Enabled.
No organization-level Claude credentials are required. Enabling the connector makes it available under My Connections.
Connect a Claude Managed Agent
Go to Integrations → Connectors → My Connections.
Select Claude Managed Agents.
Enter the required values:
API Key: Your Claude API key.
Agent ID: The Claude agent that should run tasks.
Environment ID: The environment in which the agent should run.
Optionally add one or more Vault IDs.
Optionally expand Memory Store and configure a memory store.
Click Connect.
You can add multiple Claude Managed Agents connections. After the first connection, each additional connection requires a unique name so Agent Mode can distinguish them.
Optional Configuration
Memory-store access initially defaults to Read & write. Explicitly select Read only for shared reference data and whenever the agent does not need to modify memory. Only keep Read & write when the agent deliberately needs to update the store: prompt injection from untrusted input can otherwise persist malicious instructions and affect later sessions.
Vault IDs
Secrets that the configured Claude agent can use while running tasks
Memory Store ID
A memory store that persists context across agent runs
Access
Whether the agent has Read & write (the initial default) or Read only access to the memory store
Instructions
Guidance describing how the agent should use the memory store
Manage a Connection
Open a Claude connection under My Connections to:
Edit its Agent ID, Environment ID, vaults, or memory store.
Rename it.
Update the API key without recreating the connection.
Click Test connection to send a short probe and confirm that Claude can reach the configured agent and environment.
Configure tool restrictions to run actions automatically, require approval, or deny them.
Add another Claude connection or disconnect the current one.
Troubleshooting
Claude Managed Agents is unavailable under My Connections
Ask a workspace admin to enable it under Org Connectors
Test connection fails
Confirm the API key is active and the Agent ID and Environment ID belong to resources the key can access
A task cannot access a secret
Confirm the correct vault ID is attached and that the configured agent has permission to use it
Memory is not retained
Confirm the Memory Store ID and access level, and check that the store is available to the configured agent
