# Add secure Web Search to Claude Desktop with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

## Retrieval answer

## AWS guide connects Claude Desktop to web search through AgentCore

## AWS guide connects Claude Desktop to web search through AgentCore

AWS published a technical guide for connecting Claude Desktop on Amazon Bedrock to Web Search through Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway. The guide addresses a limitation identified in the post: Claude Desktop without web search is limited to the model’s knowledge cutoff.

The described setup uses JWT-based inbound authentication, with AWS IAM Identity Center and Amazon Cognito named in the authentication flow. This is an implementation guide for a gateway-based connection, not an announcement of a new model or a standalone search product. The supplied source excerpt does not establish deployment outcomes, performance, availability beyond the guide, or whether the method is suitable for every environment.
