Overview
- AWS introduced the Agent Registry in preview within AgentCore in five regions, while automatic indexing and deeper usage telemetry remain on the roadmap.
- The catalog stores standard records that note ownership, supported protocols, exposed capabilities and invocation steps, which helps teams reuse work instead of rebuilding it.
- Interoperability is a focus with support for the Model Context Protocol and Agent‑to‑Agent links, and the registry can be queried by MCP clients such as Kiro or Claude Code.
- Governance features include role‑based publishing and discovery, approval pipelines that plug into existing reviews, and lifecycle controls to retire entries.
- Developers can register items by API or console or let the system pull data from an MCP or A2A endpoint, in a market where Microsoft, Google and CNCF projects already offer rival registries.
