Overview

What is DynamoDB MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing Amazon DynamoDB resources. It provides tools for table management, index management, capacity management, and data operations. This server is intended for developers and administrators who want to interact with DynamoDB through AI assistants like Claude.

How to use DynamoDB MCP Server?

Install dependencies with npm install, then configure AWS credentials as environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION, and optionally AWS_SESSION_TOKEN). Build the server with npm run build and start with npm start. For use with Claude Desktop, add a Docker configuration to claude_desktop_config.json as shown in the README.
