AWS_BEDROCK_LLM_API_KEY is required for AWS Bedrock.

Error message

AWS_BEDROCK_LLM_API_KEY is required for AWS Bedrock.

What it means

Configuration guard thrown by the AWSBedrockLLM constructor: the bedrock provider is selected but AWS_BEDROCK_LLM_API_KEY is empty/unset, so the Bedrock runtime client has no credential and construction aborts.

Solutions

1. Set the AWS_BEDROCK_LLM_API_KEY environment variable.
2. Configure the AWS Bedrock API key in AnythingLLM provider settings.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at provider construction when AWS_BEDROCK_LLM_API_KEY is missing.

Common situations: AWS Bedrock selected as LLM provider without an API key configured.
