Set up Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

Add Charming as an external MCP server target in an AgentCore Gateway.

You need an AgentCore Gateway and permission to manage targets and credentials.

Get a Charming token

Start a device pairing from a terminal:

curl -sS -X POST https://charm.ing/api/pair/start \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"label":"Amazon Bedrock AgentCore"}'

Open charm.ing/pair, enter the user_code from the response, and approve access. Then poll with the device_code:

curl -sS -X POST https://charm.ing/api/pair/poll \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"device_code":"PASTE_DEVICE_CODE"}'

Copy the chrm_user_* token from the first approved response. Charming returns it once.

Open your AgentCore Gateway.
Add an MCP server target.
Set the server URL to:
```
https://charm.ing/mcp
```
Choose API key authorization and create an AgentCore API key credential provider with the chrm_user_* token.
Set the credential location to the Authorization header and the credential prefix to Bearer .
Grant the gateway role access to the credential provider.
Synchronize the target and wait for its status to become ready.
Add the gateway to your AgentCore agent and test list_apps.

AgentCore calls Charming’s tools. Finished apps open at their Charming URL.

Paired tokens expire after 30 days. Pair again to replace one, then revoke the old token under Connected agents.
