Description
Serverless AI Agent with AgentCore MCP Gateway and OpenAPI Target. A Strands SDK agent on Lambda uses
AgentCore Gateway (MCP) to call WeatherAPI.com via an OpenAPI target with Cognito JWT auth and API
key injection. The Gateway discovers and invokes REST API operations directly from an inline OpenAPI
specification — no Lambda intermediary required for tool execution.
