Serverless MCP server for AI agent data lake access on Amazon ECS Fargate

Amazon's North America Sort Center team built a serverless Model Context Protocol (MCP) server on Amazon ECS Fargate that acts as a centralized, agent-agnostic gateway between AI agents and the enterprise data lake. Adding a dataset requires only a metadata JSON file, which the pipeline indexes into Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, while Amazon Cognito authentication, SELECT-only Athena tools, Bedrock Guardrails, and CloudWatch logging provide centralized controls. The architecture separates the tool layer from the agent layer so any MCP-compatible client can share the same tools and access controls in a multi-tenant environment.
