What is AWS MCP Servers?

AWS MCP Servers is a suite of open source MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that give AI applications access to AWS documentation, contextual guidance, and best practices. It is designed for developers using AI‑powered IDEs, chatbots, and custom workflows to build cloud‑native applications on AWS.

How to use AWS MCP Servers?

Install and configure a server for your MCP client (Kiro, Cline, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, or Claude Desktop) by adding its command to the client’s mcp.json configuration file.
