AgentCore is designed for production-ready agents, supporting any model and any agent framework. It gives you Runtime(Serverless but not 15 limit limit like lambda), Gateway, Memory, Identity, Browser, Code Interpreter, and Observability.
MCP provides advantages by abstracting model complexities and creating consistent interaction patterns across diverse AI models. Agents can work with different models through standardized interfaces, reducing development time and complexity. Ideally, you'd use both agentic tool calling as well as MCP(for browsing, calling third party public APIs like google maps, etc) to build your agent.
