AWS Bedrock Knowledge Base MCP Server

The AWS Bedrock Knowledge Base Retrieval server lets MCP-compatible agents query your AWS Bedrock knowledge bases for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Connect your enterprise documents to Claude without duplicating embeddings or building custom retrieval pipelines.
