Connect an AgentCore Runtime hosted MCP server to Amazon Quick
aws ·
The article explains how to connect a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server hosted on AgentCore Runtime to Amazon Quick. MCP servers let foundation models securely access external data and tools, and Amazon Quick supports MCP for autonomous execution and real-time data. The integration uses AgentCore Gateway as a bridge, with inbound authentication handled through Amazon Cognito and outbound machine-to-machine authentication via OAuth 2.0. The post provides step-by-step instructions, including deploying a sample remote MCP server on AgentCore Runtime, configuring an IAM role and two Amazon Cognito user pools, and registering the MCP integration in Amazon Quick. Prerequisites include an AWS account, Amazon Quick with an Author subscription, and access to Anthropic models in Amazon Bedrock. A sample MCP server using FastMCP with a stateless HTTP transport and dummy tools is provided. The intended outcome is to make reusable AI tools available inside Amazon Quick chat agents without building custom connectors.
