AWS AgentCore MCP Server

This MCP server provides comprehensive documentation about AWS AgentCore to your GenAI tools, enabling you to build production-ready AI agents with enterprise-grade security, observability, and scalability.

What is AWS AgentCore?

AWS AgentCore is a comprehensive framework for building, securing, monitoring, and managing AI agents at scale on Amazon Bedrock. It provides:

• AgentCore Identity: Centralized management of agent identities and credentials

• AgentCore Gateway: Universal integration layer for APIs and external services

• AgentCore Observability: Advanced tracing, monitoring, and debugging capabilities

• AgentCore Code Interpreter: Secure code execution within sandboxed sessions

• AgentCore Memory: Short-term and long-term memory storage for context-aware agents

Example Usage

Once installed, you can ask your AI assistant questions like:

• "How do I get started with AWS AgentCore?"

• "Show me how to set up AgentCore Identity for secure authentication"

• "How do I integrate external APIs using AgentCore Gateway?"

• "What observability features does AgentCore provide?"

• "How can I add code execution capabilities to my agent?"

• "How do I implement memory in my AgentCore agent?"

• "What tools can I integrate with my AgentCore agent?"

The MCP server will provide comprehensive documentation and code examples for each AgentCore component.
