Previously, AWS partners accessing Partner Central agents from their own tools had to configure MCP proxies with SigV4 credentials or sign in via the AWS Management Console using IAM credentials. The new OAuth integration allows partners to use AWS Sign-In to authorize third-party tools like Amazon Quick and Kiro without additional authentication software.

This enhancement maintains administrative controls through IAM policies, token introspection, revocation APIs, dynamic client registration, and CloudTrail logs. The feature is available through the MCP Server in the US East (N. Virginia) Region and supports use cases such as co-selling, funding applications, and Marketplace setup.
