Creating gateways
This guide walks you through the process of creating and configuring an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway. The Gateway serves as a unified entry point for agents to access tools and resources through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and creating it is the first step in building your tool integration platform. When you create a gateway, you create a managed service that handles authentication and invokes callable endpoints as tools.
To create a gateway, you set up inbound authorization and configure invocable targets. Targets establish the connection between your gateway and various tool types, including Lambda functions and REST API services. Each target contains configuration details that specify the tool location, authentication requirements, and any necessary request transformation rules.
