Agent Toolkit for AWS
AWS's own toolkit for coding agents, centred on the AWS MCP Server, a managed remote server run by AWS.
What it does
AWS's own toolkit for coding agents, centred on the AWS MCP Server, a managed remote server run by AWS. Through one endpoint an agent can search and read AWS documentation without signing in, and, once it authenticates with the user's IAM credentials, call AWS APIs, run Python in a sandbox and pull curated skill content. Clients that cannot sign AWS requests reach it through the local MCP Proxy for AWS, started with uvx. The same repository ships plugins for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Devin that bundle the server settings with agent skills, plus rules files. AWS logs every call in CloudTrail and publishes CloudWatch metrics for it.
Capabilities

- Run Python scripts with AWS API access in a sandbox
- Search and read AWS documentation without authentication
- Check regional availability of services and features
