Now out there by means of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. You need to use AWS Agent Registry to find, share, and reuse brokers, instruments, and agent expertise throughout your group.
As firms scale as much as lots of or 1000’s of brokers, platform groups face three key challenges. These are visibility (understanding which brokers exist throughout your group), management (managing who can publish and what’s discoverable throughout your group), and reuse (stopping groups from rebuilding present performance). With no centralized system, agent sprawl accelerates, compliance dangers enhance, and improvement efforts are wasted on duplicative work. These challenges are additional difficult by actuality. A company’s agent surroundings by no means resides fully inside a single supplier. Brokers are constructed throughout AWS providers, different cloud platforms, and on-premises environments. A registry that covers solely a part of the stack leaves the remainder hidden, and hidden brokers can’t be found, managed, or reused. To unravel this, you want greater than only a place to checklist what exists. Platform groups should construct brokers, publish them with approval workflows, assist groups uncover and reuse what’s on the market, handle who can publish and use it, monitor what’s operating in manufacturing, and retire what’s now not wanted. At the moment, we’re saying AWS Agent Registry (preview) for AgentCore. It is a single place to find, share, and reuse AI brokers, instruments, and agent expertise throughout your enterprise.
AgentCore is a platform for constructing, connecting, and optimizing brokers at scale, designed from the bottom up for brokers and open to any mannequin, any framework, and any enterprise structure. Whether or not you are transport your first agent or your 1,000th agent, we’ve one platform that scales with you. Registries lengthen that very same flexibility to the way you arrange and handle what you construct. Index your brokers wherever they’re constructed or hosted: AWS, different cloud suppliers, or on-premises.
What’s presently out there in preview
The registry shops metadata for all brokers, instruments, MCP servers, agent expertise, and customized assets as structured information. Seize every file’s writer, the protocol it implements, what it exposes, and the way it’s invoked. The registry natively helps established requirements resembling MCP and A2A, and gives the flexibleness to outline customized schemas in your group. There are two methods to register information. You’ll be able to manually present metadata by means of the console, AWS SDKs, or APIs to specify characteristic description, possession, compliance standing, and utilization documentation. Alternatively, you’ll be able to specify an MCP or A2A endpoint and the registry will robotically populate the main points. The registry can replicate the state of your complete agent from day one, not simply the elements that occur to run on AWS.
The registry might be accessed by means of the AgentCore console, API, and as an MCP server. Any MCP-compatible shopper, together with Kiro and Claude Code, can run queries instantly. For organizations utilizing customized id suppliers, OAuth-based entry means groups can construct their very own discovery UIs with out requiring IAM credentials.
discover one thing that already exists
With no central registry, builders are pressured to look externally for third-party instruments or for duplicate work that neighboring groups have already shipped. You will not have the ability to see what’s being constructed, who owns it, and whether or not it is accredited to be used. The registry solves this downside with a hybrid search that mixes key phrases and semantic matching. All queries use key phrase matching, however longer pure language queries additionally use semantic understanding to uncover conceptually associated outcomes. Because of this in the event you seek for “cost processing,” you will see instruments tagged with “billing” or “invoicing,” even when the title is totally different. Discovery turns into the trail of least resistance. Groups can search by title, description, or useful resource sort to seek out present ones earlier than constructing one thing new. Builders first search the registry. If a vetted characteristic exists, use it. If not, construct it and register it to make it out there to others. See what exists throughout your group.

Management what’s revealed
With out governance, anybody can register something. You lose management over what turns into discoverable, you’ll be able to’t implement requirements, you’ll be able to’t observe possession, and you’ll’t handle brokers from improvement to retirement. You probably have a number of brokers, you’ll be able to handle them with a spreadsheet. You probably have lots of or 1000’s, you will want a system that robotically enforces requirements.
The registry permits you to management what’s revealed and who has entry to it. Directors use IAM insurance policies to outline who can register brokers, instruments, and agent expertise, and who can uncover them. All information comply with an approval workflow. A file begins as a draft, strikes to pending approval, and turns into discoverable to the broader group as soon as accredited. The registry tracks brokers all through their lifecycle, from preliminary improvement to deployment and eventual retirement. Data are versioned to trace modifications over time, and organizations can deprecate information when they’re now not used. The registry gives hooks for integrating present approval workflows. You’ll be able to add customized metadata to every entry by means of information to seize info resembling crew possession, compliance standing, deployment surroundings, and extra.

the place we’re heading
We’re constructing for a future the place the registry spans all AWS providers that brokers are constructed on, together with Amazon Fast and Kiro. Brokers are robotically listed the second they’re deployed. Builders search from the IDE, enterprise customers uncover brokers of their workspaces, and directors handle them from the console. They’re all primarily based on the identical dependable supply. Cross-registry federation permits you to join a number of registries and search them as one. You’ll outline classes and taxonomies that match how your group thinks about your brokers, backed by a structured metadata schema that captures possession, compliance standing, price facilities, and the whole lot else you want in your governance mannequin. Over time, operational intelligence from AgentCore Observability emerges together with registry information resembling name counts, latency, uptime, and utilization patterns, serving to you perceive not simply what exists, however what’s actively working in your manufacturing surroundings.
We’re constructing past AWS Agent Registry to attach with exterior associate catalogs. We’re enthusiastic about early associate curiosity in centralized discovery and governance throughout your expertise surroundings.
