Add Salient to Amazon Bedrock¶

Deploy Salient's MCP server as a managed tool on Amazon Bedrock via AgentCore.

Overview¶

Amazon Bedrock connects to MCP servers through AgentCore, which manages tool discovery, authentication, and routing. Salient's MCP server runs as a containerized HTTP endpoint.

Step 1: Package the MCP Server¶

Build a container image from the Salient MCP server with HTTP transport enabled:

FROM python:3.11-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY tools/mcp-ttx/ ./tools/mcp-ttx/
COPY backend/app/ ./backend/app/
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r tools/mcp-ttx/requirements.txt
ENV MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http
ENV MCP_PORT=8080
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["python3", "tools/mcp-ttx/server.py"]

Push to Amazon ECR:

aws ecr get-login-password --region us-east-1 | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin <account>.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
docker build -t salient-mcp -f Dockerfile.mcp .
docker tag salient-mcp:latest <account>.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/salient-mcp:latest
docker push <account>.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/salient-mcp:latest

Step 2: Deploy to AgentCore Runtime¶

1. Open AWS Console > Amazon Bedrock > AgentCore
2. Create a new MCP Server resource
3. Select your ECR image as the container source
4. Configure environment variables:

1. Set the transport to Streamable HTTP
2. Deploy

Step 3: Configure Gateway Target¶

In your Bedrock Agent configuration, add the deployed MCP server as a gateway target:

{
  "toolConfiguration": {
    "mcpServers": [{
      "name": "salient",
      "uri": "https://<agentcore-endpoint>/mcp",
      "authentication": {
        "type": "BEARER_TOKEN",
        "token": "your-salient-token"
      }
    }]
  }
}

Cross-Region Availability¶

AgentCore Runtime is available in us-east-1, us-west-2, and eu-west-1. Deploy in the same region as your Bedrock agents for lowest latency.
