Frequently asked questions

What does this server do?

It provides MCP tools to perform AWS Cognito authentication operations such as sign-up, sign-in, password reset, and user attribute updates directly from an MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop or Claude Code).

What are the prerequisites?

You need an AWS account with a Cognito User Pool configured, Node.js 18 or higher, and the User Pool ID and App Client ID set as environment variables.

How do I configure the server?

Set the `AWS_COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID` and `AWS_COGNITO_USER_POOL_CLIENT_ID` environment variables. For Claude Desktop, add them to the `env` field in `claude_desktop_config.json`; for Claude Code, use the `claude mcp add` command with the appropriate path.

Where does user data live?

All user data is stored and managed in your AWS Cognito User Pool. The server does not store data locally—it only sends requests to AWS Cognito APIs.

What tools are available?

The server exposes 13 tools covering registration, verification, authentication, password management, session refresh, attribute updates, and user deletion. See the README for the full list with parameters.
