Overview

The AWS MCP Server is a lightweight service that enables AI assistants to execute AWS CLI commands in a safe, containerized environment through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows AI models like Claude to access over 200 AWS services by wrapping the AWS CLI, rather than individual AWS APIs. The server acts as a bridge, enabling Claude to learn AWS commands on-demand using the --help option and then execute them. The user's IAM policy controls what actions Claude can perform. The server supports multiple deployment methods, including direct installation, Docker, and integration with Claude Desktop. It also features a streamable HTTP transport for web-based MCP clients and provides icon metadata for client display. The server uses the standard AWS credential chain for authentication.
