Create a managed agent on Claude Platform for AWS and connect it to Slack with the Novu CLI. No bridge server is required. This path uses AWS Claude Platform credentials (region, workspace ID, API key). For Anthropic Claude directly, see Connect Claude managed agent.
AWS Bedrock AgentCore is a separate connector and is not available yet. Use AWS Claude Managed Agent for managed agents on AWS today.

Prerequisites

​
Connect AWS Claude

1

​
Run the CLI

2

​
Choose AWS Claude Managed Agent

When the CLI asks Where your agent runs?, select AWS Claude Managed Agent.The CLI prompts for:
  1. AWS Claude API key — from the AWS Claude Platform console
  2. AWS Claude region — commercial region for your workspace
  3. AWS Claude workspace ID — wrkspc_… under Workspaces in the AWS Console
Novu verifies the credentials and creates an AWS Claude runtime integration in your environment.

​
Create the agent

  1. Describe the agent in plain text, for example:
  2. Novu generates a name, identifier, system prompt, tools, MCP servers, and skills from that description.
  3. Review the fields. Select Create this agent, or Regenerate from description to revise.

​
Connect Slack

When prompted to pick a channel, select Slack.
  1. Open https://api.slack.com/apps.
  2. Under App Configuration Tokens, click Generate Token.
  3. Copy the access token (starts with xoxe.xoxp-).
  4. Paste it into the CLI. Novu uses it once to create the Slack app and does not store it.
  5. Follow the install link to add the bot to your workspace.
