AWS Agent Registry Brings Multi-Cloud Agent Governance to Preview
AWS has launched Agent Registry in preview as part of its AgentCore platform, a centralized system for discovering, sharing, and governing AI agents across enterprises. The registry addresses three core challenges at scale: visibility into what agents exist across an organization, control over who can publish and what becomes discoverable, and reuse to prevent duplicate development effort. It indexes agents regardless of where they are built or hosted, supporting standards like MCP and A2A, and is accessible via console, APIs, and as an MCP server itself.

- AWS Agent Registry (preview) provides a centralized catalog for discovering and managing AI agents, tools, and agent skills across enterprises
- The registry indexes agents built anywhere: AWS, other cloud providers, or on-premises, solving the multi-cloud visibility problem
- Supports both manual metadata entry and automatic ingestion from MCP and A2A endpoints, with hybrid keyword and semantic search
- Accessible through AgentCore console, APIs, and as an MCP server, with OAuth support for custom identity providers and custom discovery UIs
As enterprises deploy hundreds or thousands of agents, the lack of centralized visibility creates agent sprawl, compliance risks, and wasted development effort on duplicate capabilities. A registry that only covers one cloud provider leaves the rest of an organization's agent landscape invisible and ungoverned. AWS Agent Registry addresses this by providing cross-platform indexing and governance, which is critical infrastructure for enterprises managing agents at scale across heterogeneous environments.
- Organizations can now establish a single source of truth for agent inventory across AWS, other clouds, and on-premises, reducing the operational burden of managing distributed agent ecosystems
- The registry's support for custom schemas and OAuth-based access enables enterprises to build custom discovery UIs and integrate with existing identity systems without requiring AWS IAM credentials
- Hybrid search combining keyword and semantic matching addresses the practical problem of developers not knowing what agents already exist, reducing duplicate development and accelerating time to value
