Prompt: Add secure Web Search to Claude Desktop with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

This guide walks through integrating Amazon Bedrock AgentCore with Web Search capabilities to overcome the model's knowledge cutoff limitation. By connecting Claude Desktop to a managed web index via Amazon Bedrock AgentCore's AgentCore Gateway and JWT-based authentication, users can retrieve current information including documentation updates, live pricing, and real-time web content.

Copy This Prompt

Set up Amazon Bedrock AgentCore with Web Search integration for Claude Desktop. First, create an Amazon Cognito user pool named 'agentcore-websearch-pool' with email as a verified attribute. Then create a SAML application in AWS IAM Identity Center pointing to this pool. Register IAM Identity Center as a SAML IdP in the Cognito pool. Create a Cognito app client called 'agentcore-websearch-client' with a generated secret and the SAML IdP as the supported identity provider. Finally, create an AgentCore Gateway named 'websearch-gateway' with protocolType 'MCP', authorizerType 'CUSTOM_JWT', and attach the 'web-search' connector. Configure Claude Desktop to connect to this gateway using JWT-based inbound authentication with the Cognito client ID and secret.
