# Cost Explorer MCP Server - AgentCore Runtime Deployment Summary
## ✅ Successfully Completed
### 1. Local MCP Server Development
- ✅ **Converted STDIO to Streamable HTTP**: Successfully converted the original cost-explorer-mcp-server from STDIO to streamable HTTP transport
- ✅ **Local Testing**: Both simple and complex MCP servers work perfectly locally on port 8000
- ✅ **MCP Protocol Compliance**: Servers follow MCP specification with proper tool registration and streamable HTTP transport
### 2. AgentCore Runtime Deployment
- ✅ **AgentCore CLI Setup**: Successfully installed and configured bedrock-agentcore-starter-toolkit
- ✅ **MCP Server Deployment**: Successfully deployed MCP servers to AgentCore Runtime
- ✅ **Infrastructure Creation**: Auto-created IAM roles, S3 buckets, and memory resources
- ✅ **Agent Status**: Agents show as "READY" in AgentCore Runtime
### 3. Deployment Artifacts
- ✅ **Simple MCP Server**: `arn:aws:bedrock-agentcore:us-west-2:632930644527:runtime/simple_mcp_server-5gCG6jAMaP`
- ✅ **Cost Explorer MCP Server**: `arn:aws:bedrock-agentcore:us-west-2:632930644527:runtime/agentcore_mcp_server-IZBGEpHspW`
- ✅ **Configuration Files**: Proper `.bedrock_agentcore.yaml` configuration with MCP protocol
- ✅ **Requirements**: All dependencies properly packaged and deployed
## 🔄 Current Status: Authentication Required
### The Challenge
The MCP servers are successfully deployed and running on AgentCore Runtime, but **authentication is required** to access them remotely. This is expected behavior for production deployments.
### What's Working
1. **Local MCP Servers**: Perfect functionality with all 7 Cost Explorer tools
2. **AgentCore Deployment**: Successful deployment with proper MCP protocol configuration
3. **Infrastructure**: All AWS resources created and configured correctly
### What's Needed: OAuth Authentication Setup
According to AWS documentation, accessing deployed MCP servers requires OAuth authentication. The next steps are:
## 📋 Next Steps for Production Use
### Option 1: Cognito User Pool Authentication (Recommended)
```bash
# Set up Cognito User Pool as described in AWS docs
export REGION=us-west-2
export USERNAME=testuser
export PASSWORD=MyPassword123!
# Run the Cognito setup script from AWS documentation
source setup_cognito.sh
# Use the Bearer token for MCP client authentication
export AGENT_ARN="arn:aws:bedrock-agentcore:us-west-2:632930644527:runtime/simple_mcp_server-5gCG6jAMaP"
export BEARER_TOKEN="your-cognito-access-token"
python test_agentcore_mcp_client.py
```
### Option 2: Auth0 OAuth Setup
Follow the Auth0 setup instructions in the AWS documentation for more advanced OAuth flows.
## 🎯 Current Deployment Status
### Simple MCP Server (Working Example)
- **ARN**: `arn:aws:bedrock-agentcore:us-west-2:632930644527:runtime/simple_mcp_server-5gCG6jAMaP`
- **Tools**: `add_numbers`, `multiply_numbers`, `greet_user`
- **Status**: ✅ Deployed and Ready

### Cost Explorer MCP Server (Full Implementation)
- **ARN**: `arn:aws:bedrock-agentcore:us-west-2:632930644527:runtime/agentcore_mcp_server-IZBGEpHspW`
- **Tools**: All 7 Cost Explorer tools (get_today_date, get_dimension_values, etc.)
- **Status**: ✅ Deployed and Ready
- **Protocol**: MCP with Streamable HTTP on port 8000
## 🔧 Technical Implementation Details
