Amazon Quick

Add SpecStream to Amazon Quick as an MCP connector at https://api.specstream.ai/mcp. Quick chat can then search the web, read pages, and ask Deep Search for structured rows, and every Deep Search run shows its price before it starts.

SpecStream for Amazon QuickAI assistants

What you need

  • An Amazon Quick Enterprise subscription, and a Quick user with Author permissions or higher, so you can create connectors for the team.
  • A SpecStream account for each person who uses the connector. New accounts get $10 of credit, no card. Create one.

  1. 1. Open the MCP connector form

    In the Amazon Quick console, choose Connectors, open the Create for your team tab, and choose Model Context Protocol (MCP).

    Some consoles still show the older menu. There, choose Integrations, then Add (+), then Model Context Protocol (MCP).

  2. 2. Enter the SpecStream endpoint

    On the Create Integration page, fill in the fields as below, then choose Next. SpecStream is a remote server that uses Streamable HTTP, the transport Quick prefers.

    Create Integration
    Name: SpecStream
    Description: Web search, page reading and Deep Search rows from the live web
    MCP server endpoint: https://api.specstream.ai/mcp
    Connection type: Public network
    Auth server connection type: Public network

  3. 3. Choose user authentication

    Select User authentication and choose Create and continue. You type no client ID, client secret or URL. Quick reads SpecStream's sign in details from the server and registers itself through Dynamic Client Registration.

    With user authentication, each person signs in with their own SpecStream account, and their requests use that account's balance and spending limits.

  4. 4. Turn on the actions and share

    Quick connects to SpecStream and lists each SpecStream tool as an action. Turn on the ones your team needs, choose Next, and share the connector with the people who should use it.

    For search, page reading and Deep Search, turn on search_web, read_pages, compile, quote_capacity_work, authorize_capacity_work, get_find, list_find_rows and get_find_decisions.

  5. 5. Sign in and ask

    Each person opens the SpecStream connector's details page in Connectors, chooses Sign in, signs in to SpecStream or creates an account, and approves the access.

    To check the connection, choose Test action APIs in the Actions section and run get_me. It returns the signed in account and costs nothing.

    Then, in a Quick chat with SpecStream turned on, describe the records you want:

What happens when you ask

For one fact, Quick calls search_web: $5 per 1,000 searches of up to 10 results. To read pages it calls read_pages: $0.80 per 1,000 pages, and a page with no text is not charged. Neither one needs a quote.

For a list, compile reads the request and quote_capacity_work prices it. Nothing runs until you approve that price, and authorize_capacity_work then starts the run under that maximum. Rows arrive with the source URL and read time on every value.

Quick limits that matter here

Amazon's MCP documentation sets four limits that change how SpecStream behaves in Quick.

Quick limitWhat it means for SpecStream
At most 100 tools per MCP connectionSpecStream lists more than 100 tools. Quick registers the first 100, which hold search, page reading, Deep Search runs, results and exports. The tools for saved web sources, list reconciliation, investigation batches and research rules come later in the list and are left out.
Five minutes per callA Deep Search run can take longer. authorize_capacity_work returns once the run starts, and get_find reads its progress, so no single call waits for the whole run.
No custom HTTP headersA team connector can't send a SpecStream API key in a header. It signs each person in with OAuth instead.
Tool lists don't update by themselvesWhen SpecStream adds tools, the connector owner opens the connector's details page and chooses Sync.

Or connect only yourself with an API key

The Quick desktop app can hold a connector for one person, sent with an API key. In SpecStream, open Agents & API, choose API keys, then Create API key. Turn on Authorize paid work and give the key a Total spending limit. The key is shown once.

In the desktop app, open Customize, then the Connectors tab, choose Create, then Local connector, and pick Remote. Set Name to SpecStream and URL to https://api.specstream.ai/mcp. Under Headers, add Authorization with the value Bearer YOUR_SPECSTREAM_KEY, and store the value as a secret.

Only you can use this connector, and only on that computer while it is on.

Cost

Connecting SpecStream to Quick is free. Reading a request and pricing it cost nothing. Each matching row costs 5¢, 15¢ or $1, depending on how much the row needs, plus 5¢ for a person's email and 15¢ for a phone. A quote lasts 30 minutes, a run can't cost more than the maximum you approved, and a run that finds nothing costs nothing. Amazon bills for Quick separately. Balance, quotes, and billing has the details.

Disconnect

In the Quick console, choose Connectors, choose SpecStream, choose the menu icon (â‹®), select Delete, and confirm. To end its sign in on the SpecStream side, open Agents & API in your workspace, choose OAuth applications, and revoke Amazon Quick, or revoke the key under API keys. Your saved results stay in your workspace. Questions go to [email protected].
