A new integration pattern lets teams deploy MCP servers on AgentCore Runtime and connect them to Amazon Quick via AgentCore Gateway.
A new AWS blog post explains how to connect an MCP server hosted on AgentCore Runtime to Amazon Quick. The integration uses AgentCore Gateway to bridge the services and enables Amazon Quick to access external tools, databases, and APIs for chat agents and Flows.
Amazon Quick supports MCP integrations for autonomous execution, real-time data access, and specialized sub-agents. For developers, AWS provides several connection options: direct REST API integration, Lambda functions for bare minimum execution, and fully managed serverless hosting with AgentCore Runtime.
Builders can reuse MCP servers and avoid duplicating AI tools, because clients access common tools and agents through a shared server instead of authoring them from scratch. The integration pattern lets customers use a product inside Amazon Quick without building custom connectors for every use case.
The post also covers prerequisites for deploying and hosting an MCP server on AgentCore Runtime. Two authentication flows matter: Inbound Auth connects Amazon Quick to AgentCore Gateway, and Outbound Auth connects Gateway to Runtime. Operators should review these flows before starting an integration.
What matters
- Amazon Quick now supports MCP server integration through AgentCore Runtime and AgentCore Gateway.
- Builders can reuse existing MCP servers instead of building custom connectors for each Amazon Quick use case.
- Watch for details on inbound and outbound authentication flows between Amazon Quick and AgentCore Gateway.
