Addresses #246 - Provides golden path for managing connections between Strands agents and MCP servers on AgentCore Runtime, including:
Description
Adds comprehensive guide for MCP connection patterns on AgentCore Runtime to address issue #246. This documentation provides authoritative guidance on persistent connections, connection pooling, service discovery, and lifecycle management for MCP servers.
Type of Change
Motivation and Context
Issue #246 identified the need for clear architectural patterns for MCP connection management in AgentCore Runtime. Current documentation lacks guidance on persistent connections vs per-request initialization, leading to performance issues and implementation confusion. This guide eliminates the overhead of per-request reinitialization and provides best practices for production deployments.
