| description | AWS Bedrock AgentCore comprehensive expert for deploying and managing all AgentCore services. Use when working with Gateway, Runtime, Memory, Identity, or any AgentCore component. Covers MCP target deployment, credential management, schema optimization, runtime configuration, memory management, and identity services. |
AWS Bedrock AgentCore
AWS Bedrock AgentCore provides a complete platform for deploying and scaling AI agents with seven core services. This skill guides you through service selection, deployment patterns, and integration workflows using AWS CLI.
AWS Documentation Requirement
CRITICAL: This skill requires AWS MCP tools for accurate, up-to-date AWS information.
Before Answering AWS Questions
-
Always verify using AWS MCP tools (if available):
mcp__aws-mcp__aws___search_documentation or mcp__*awsdocs*__aws___search_documentation - Search AWS docsmcp__aws-mcp__aws___read_documentation or mcp__*awsdocs*__aws___read_documentation - Read specific pagesmcp__aws-mcp__aws___get_regional_availability - Check service availability
-
If AWS MCP tools are unavailable:
- Guide user to configure AWS MCP: See AWS MCP Setup Guide
- Help determine which option fits their environment:
- Has uvx + AWS credentials → Full AWS MCP Server
- No Python/credentials → AWS Documentation MCP (no auth)
- If cannot determine → Ask user which option to use
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when you need to:
- Deploy REST APIs as MCP tools for AI agents (Gateway)
- Execute agents in serverless runtime (Runtime)
- Add conversation memory to agents (Memory)
- Manage API credentials and authentication (Identity)
- Enable agents to execute code securely (Code Interpreter)
- Allow agents to interact with websites (Browser)
- Monitor and trace agent performance (Observability)

Common Workflows
Deploying a Gateway Target
MANDATORY - READ DETAILED DOCUMENTATION: See services/gateway/README.md for complete Gateway setup guide including deployment strategies, troubleshooting, and IAM configuration.
Quick Workflow:
- Upload OpenAPI schema to S3
- (API Key auth only) Create credential provider and store API key
- Create gateway target linking schema (and credentials if using API key)
- Verify target status and test connectivity
Note: Credential provider is only needed for API key authentication. Lambda targets use IAM roles, and MCP servers use OAuth.
Managing Credentials
MANDATORY - READ DETAILED DOCUMENTATION: See cross-service/credential-management.md for unified credential management patterns across all services.
Quick Workflow:
- Use Identity service credential providers for all API keys
- Link providers to gateway targets via ARN references
- Rotate credentials quarterly through credential provider updates
- Monitor usage with CloudWatch metrics
Monitoring Agents
MANDATORY - READ DETAILED DOCUMENTATION: See services/observability/README.md for comprehensive monitoring setup.
Quick Workflow:
- Enable observability for agents
- Configure CloudWatch dashboards for metrics
- Set up alarms for error rates and latency
- Use X-Ray for distributed tracing
