MCP Authentication for Agent Connections in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

MCP Authentication for Agent Connections in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore: A Complete Guide Agents are currently the go-to topic in AI, with AWS heavily pushing Amazon Bedrock AgentCore as the next-generation platform for building intelligent, tool-enabled applications. However, while LLMs excel at language understanding and generation, they have fundamental limitations in performing complex calculations, data processing, and accessing external systems. While an LLM might have learned that 2+2 equals 4, it cannot perform integral calculations or access real-time data from external APIs.

Embedded Embeddings Database: Building a low cost serverless RAG solution

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions are an impressive way to talk to one’s data. One of the challenges of RAG solutions is the associated cost, often driven by the vector database. In a previous blog article I presented how to tackle this issue by using Athena with Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) as a knowledge database. One the of the main limitations with Athena is the latency and the low number of concurrent queries. In this new blog article, I present a new low-cost serverless solution that makes use of an embedded vector database, SQLite, to achieve a low cost while maintaining high concurrency.
