Amazon API Gateway adds MCP proxy support

Amazon API Gateway MCP Proxy Support

Amazon API Gateway now supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) proxy, allowing you to transform your existing REST APIs into MCP-compatible endpoints. This new capability enables organizations to make their APIs accessible to AI agents and MCP clients. Through integration with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore's Gateway service, you can securely convert your REST APIs into agent-compatible tools while enabling intelligent tool discovery through semantic search.

Key Benefits

• Enables REST APIs to communicate with AI agents and MCP clients through protocol translation.
• Provides comprehensive security through dual authentication.
• Enables AI agents to search and select the most relevant REST APIs that best match the prompt context.

What to do

• Visit the Amazon API Gateway documentation to get started.
• Check the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore pricing page for pricing details.
