bedrock-kb-retrieval-mcp-server: Support Amazon Bedrock API Key Authentication #2071
Description
Describe the feature
Amazon recently introduced support for authenticating API requests to Bedrock using API Keys. Currently, the bedrock-kb-retrieval-mcp-server only supports the default AWS authentication (IAM roles/credentials). This feature request is to add support for authenticating with API Keys when connecting to Amazon Bedrock.
Use Case
In environments with very strict access restrictions to AWS resources, using the default AWS authentication method is not feasible. For example, we are unable to leverage Bedrock Knowledge Bases with RAG when limited to standard IAM authentication. API Keys would be much easier for us to distribute and manage internally among employees, while still maintaining proper access control.
Adding API Key authentication support would enable a wider adoption of the MCP server, especially in restricted enterprise setups where AWS IAM permissions are tightly controlled.
