A step-by-step guide to connecting Amazon Quick with AWS services using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime and the AWS API MCP Server. The integration enables a conversational AI assistant that translates natural language queries into AWS CLI commands, eliminating context-switching for SREs and DevOps engineers. The setup involves configuring an Amazon Cognito user pool for JWT authentication, creating IAM execution roles, deploying the MCP server container via AgentCore Runtime, and building a custom chat agent in Amazon Quick. Security is handled at the AgentCore layer using OAuth 2.0 bearer token validation, while the MCP server itself runs without re-authentication. Estimated setup time is 30–45 minutes with a monthly cost around $292 for a single Enterprise user.
