Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime now supports stateful MCP server features
News
This article announces that Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime now supports stateful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server features for building advanced agent applications.
- Stateful MCP servers enable elicitation, sampling, and progress notifications alongside existing capabilities
- Elicitation allows server-initiated multi-turn conversations to gather user preferences interactively
- Sampling enables servers to request LLM-generated content from clients for personalized recommendations
- Progress notifications provide real-time updates for long-running operations like flight searches
- Each user session runs in dedicated microVM with isolated resources and persistent context
- Feature available across fourteen AWS regions globally
These stateful MCP features enable complex, interactive agent workflows beyond simple request-response patterns.
