Amazon Quick

Amazon Quick lets you build and share AI agents that act on your data. This page explains how to connect Connect AI to Amazon Quick as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector, enabling your agents to query and take action on live data.

Prerequisites

Before you can configure and use Amazon Quick with Connect AI, you must first do the following:

Connect a data source to your Connect AI account. See Sources for more information.
Have access to Amazon Quick and an IAM user with permission to create and publish connectors for your team.

Create an MCP Connector in Amazon Quick

Begin creating the connector in Amazon Quick. During setup, Amazon Quick displays the redirect URL that you need to create the OAuth App in Connect AI.

Click Connectors, and then click Create for your team.

Choose Model Context Protocol.

Create a new MCP connector by providing the MCP URL https://mcp.cloud.cdata.com/mcp. You can also use a toolkit URL to scope the connector to a specific toolkit.

Click Next.

Select Custom user-based OAuth App.

Copy the redirect URL that Amazon Quick displays. It follows this format:

https://{region}.quicksight.aws.amazon.com/sn/oauthcallback

You will enter this URL when you create the OAuth App in the next section. Leave this screen open, because you will return to it to enter your Client ID and Client Secret.

Create an OAuth App in Connect AI

Amazon Quick uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate users against the Connect AI MCP Server. This requires a user-based OAuth application in your Connect AI account.

Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of Connect AI to open Settings.

Navigate to the OAuth Apps tab and click + Create App. The Create OAuth App dialog appears.

Enter the following settings:

Name–enter a descriptive name (for example, AmazonQuickOAuth).
Application Type–select Web Application.
Callback URL–enter the redirect URL you copied from Amazon Quick (for example, https://us-east-1.quicksight.aws.amazon.com/sn/oauthcallback).
