Amazon VPC Lattice MCP Server

What is Amazon VPC Lattice MCP Server?

Amazon VPC Lattice MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for accessing, managing, and querying documentation for AWS VPC Lattice resources. It is intended for developers and operators who manage VPC Lattice infrastructure through an MCP-compatible client (e.g., an AI assistant).

How to use Amazon VPC Lattice MCP Server?

Clone the repository, install dependencies (npm install), and build (npm run build). Add the server configuration to your MCP settings file (e.g., cline_mcp_settings.json), specifying the path to the built index.js. Once configured, invoke tools such as list_sources, get_source_prompts, list_amazon_vpc_lattice_prompts, get_amazon_vpc_lattice_prompts, or vpc_lattice_cli via the MCP client’s use_mcp_tool function.

FAQ from Amazon VPC Lattice MCP Server

What tools does the server provide?

Five tools: list_sources, get_source_prompts, list_amazon_vpc_lattice_prompts, get_amazon_vpc_lattice_prompts, and vpc_lattice_cli.

How do I manage VPC Lattice resources programmatically?

Use the vpc_lattice_cli tool with a command (e.g., list-service-networks) and optional arguments like region, profile, or operation-specific parameters. Arguments follow camelCase and are converted to CLI kebab-case.

How can I add new documentation sources or prompt templates?

Modify src/data/sources.ts to add new sources with name, URL, and sample prompts. Modify src/data/prompts.ts to add new prompt templates with name, description, template, and parameter list.

What are the runtime dependencies?

Node.js and npm are required for building and running the server. AWS CLI must be installed and configured for the vpc_lattice_cli tool to work.

Where does the configuration live?

The server configuration goes into the MCP settings file (e.g., ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/asbx.amzn-cline/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json). Server data and prompts are stored locally in the src/data/ directory.
