New feature

AWS Partner Central agents MCP Server now supports OAuth with AWS Sign-In

AWS partners can now access Partner Central agents from existing tools using OAuth via AWS Sign-In, simplifying authorization without additional software.

AWS partners can now use OAuth with AWS Sign-In to access Partner Central agents from tools like Amazon Quick and Kiro. This allows authorization using existing AWS identities, IAM permissions, and governance controls without installing extra authentication software. Partners can access agents for co-selling, funding applications, and Marketplace setup directly from their tools. Administrators can manage access with IAM policies, condition keys, token APIs, dynamic registration, and CloudTrail auditing. The feature is available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region.
