  • Curated Documentation List: Uses llm.txt as a curated list of relevant AgentCore documentations, always fetching the latest version of the file

Prerequisites​

Installation Requirements​

  1. Install uv from Astral or the GitHub README
  2. Install Python 3.10 or newer using uv python install 3.10 (or a more recent version)

Installation​

Install MCP ServerInstall on VS Code

Configure the MCP server in your MCP client configuration:

For Kiro, add at the project level .kiro/settings/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awslabs.amazon-bedrock-agentcore-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["awslabs.amazon-bedrock-agentcore-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL": "ERROR"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

For Amazon Q Developer CLI, add the MCP client configuration and tool command to the agent file in ~/.aws/amazonq/cli-agents.

Example, ~/.aws/amazonq/cli-agents/default.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awslabs.amazon-bedrock-agentcore-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["awslabs.amazon-bedrock-agentcore-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL": "ERROR"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  },
  "tools": [
    // .. other existing tools
    "@awslabs.amazon-bedrock-agentcore-mcp-server"
  ]
}

Windows Installation​

For Windows users, the MCP server configuration format is slightly different:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awslabs.amazon-bedrock-agentcore-mcp-server": {
      "disabled": false,
      "timeout": 60,
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "tool",
        "run",
        "--from",
        "awslabs.amazon-bedrock-agentcore-mcp-server@latest",
        "awslabs.amazon-bedrock-agentcore-mcp-server.exe"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL": "ERROR"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or using Docker after a successful docker build -t mcp/amazon-bedrock-agentcore .:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awslabs.amazon-bedrock-agentcore-mcp-server": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "--interactive",
        "--env",
        "FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL=ERROR",
        "mcp/amazon-bedrock-agentcore:latest"
      ],
      "env": {},
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Basic Usage​

The server provides access to comprehensive Amazon Bedrock AgentCore documentation covering:

Platform Services:

  • AgentCore Runtime (serverless deployment and scaling)
  • AgentCore Memory (persistent knowledge with event and semantic memory)
  • AgentCore Code Interpreter (secure code execution in isolated sandboxes)
  • AgentCore Browser (fast, secure cloud-based browser for web interaction)
  • AgentCore Gateway (transform existing APIs into agent tools)
  • AgentCore Observability (real-time monitoring and tracing)
  • AgentCore Identity (secure authentication and access management)

Development Resources:

  • Getting started guides and prerequisites
  • Building your first agent or transforming existing code
  • Local development and testing workflows
  • Deployment to AgentCore using CLI
  • API reference documentation
  • Examples and tutorials for various use cases

Example queries:

  • "How do I set up AgentCore Memory for my agent?"
  • "Show me examples of using the Code Interpreter service"
  • "What are the deployment options for AgentCore Runtime?"
  • "How do I integrate AgentCore Browser with my application?"

Tools​

search_agentcore_docs​

Search curated AgentCore documentation and return ranked results with snippets.

search_agentcore_docs(query: str, k: int = 5) -> List[Dict[str, Any]]

Parameters:

  • query: Search query string (e.g., "bedrock agentcore", "memory integration", "deployment guide")
  • k: Maximum number of results to return (default: 5)

Returns: List of dictionaries containing:

  • url: Document URL
  • title: Display title
  • score: Relevance score (0-1, higher is better)
  • snippet: Contextual content preview

fetch_agentcore_doc​

Fetch full document content by URL.

fetch_agentcore_doc(uri: str) -> Dict[str, Any]

Parameters:

  • uri: Document URI (supports http/https URLs)

Returns: Dictionary containing:

  • url: Canonical document URL
  • title: Document title
  • content: Full document text content
  • error: Error message (if fetch failed)

Use this tool to get complete documentation pages when search snippets aren't sufficient for understanding or implementing AgentCore features.
