AgentCore Gateway Enhances Integration with Amazon API Gateway
AgentCore Gateway now offers support for Amazon API Gateway, facilitating secure API interactions for agentic applications. By utilizing the Model Context Protocol (MCP), organizations can effectively link their existing APIs with AI systems while adhering to enterprise security policies. This integration simplifies the process of exposing REST APIs, enabling seamless transitions without needing to export OpenAPI specifications.
With the introduction of a new API_GATEWAY target type, developers can easily configure their APIs through console settings or CLI commands. Security options include IAM-based and API key authorization, ensuring that connections remain secure. Built-in observability tools like Amazon CloudWatch Logs and AWS X-Ray enhance monitoring capabilities.
This blog post outlines how to implement these features effectively, transforming existing APIs into MCP-compatible endpoints. For detailed guidance, visit our developer documentation and workshops to leverage these innovations for enhanced agentic use cases.
