AWS Shows How to Add Secure Web Search to Claude Desktop via Bedrock AgentCore
AWS published a walkthrough for connecting Claude Desktop (running on Amazon Bedrock) to a managed, MCP-compatible Web Search tool through Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway. The integration uses AWS IAM Identity Center for SSO, federated through Amazon Cognito, with JWT-based authentication securing all traffic to the gateway. Web Search is backed by an Amazon web index spanning tens of billions of documents, keeping all query traffic inside AWS infrastructure with no external API keys required. It is currently available in three AWS Regions: us-east-1, eu-west-1, and ap-northeast-1.
