Integration with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
AI agents and tools with API deployment options can be integrated with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, AWS's fully managed capability for developing, deploying, and connecting AI agents. Depending on the specific service and deployment model, you may be able to subscribe to paid agents or use free and open-source options through various AWS interfaces.
Note
The Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime launch experience is currently available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region.
Integration with AWS services

Benefits of MCP integration
AI agents and tools that support the Model Context Protocol offer several integration advantages, including the following:
-
Standardized communication – Consistent interface across different agents and tools.
-
Simplified discovery – Automatic capability advertisement to MCP-compatible clients.
-
Reduced integration effort – No custom API integration required.
-
Pre-configured functionality – Connect agents and tools with minimal configuration.
-
Future compatibility – Support for emerging MCP-compatible platforms.
When evaluating AI agents and tools, look for the MCP-compatible badge to identify solutions that offer these integration benefits.
Security and compliance considerations
When integrating AI agents and tools with your AWS environment, consider the following security and compliance factors:
-
Data handling – Understand how agents process and store your data.
-
Authentication mechanisms – Review authentication options and security best practices.
-
Compliance certifications – Verify that agents meet your regulatory requirements.
-
Network configuration – Configure appropriate VPC settings and security groups.
-
IAM permissions – Set up least-privilege access for agent interactions.
AWS Marketplace provides compliance information for each AI agent and tool to help you make informed decisions based on your security requirements.
