Open source MCP servers for AWS

A suite of specialized MCP servers that help you get the most out of AWS, wherever you use MCP.

[!TIP] The Agent Toolkit for AWS is now live! The Agent Toolkit for AWS is the successor to the MCP servers, plugins, and skills available on AWS Labs, and was informed by feedback from customers like you. If you're building production software using coding agents or building agents for your own customers, we recommend Agent Toolkit for AWS. It includes IAM condition keys to distinguish agent actions from human ones, CloudWatch and CloudTrail visibility, and skills that have been evaluated for accuracy and effectiveness. This repo continues to work and accept contributions. Over time, the most useful projects here will move into Agent Toolkit for AWS.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how does it work with MCP Servers for AWS?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. Whether you're building an AI-powered IDE, enhancing a chat interface, or creating custom AI workflows, MCP provides a standardized way to connect LLMs with the context they need.
