aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws

Official, AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, and plugins to help AI agents build on AWS

What it solves

It provides AI coding agents with the necessary tools, knowledge, and guardrails to build, deploy, and manage applications on AWS. It bridges the gap between general-purpose AI agents and the specific complexities of AWS services, ensuring agents can interact with the cloud environment safely and effectively.

How it works

The toolkit operates through three primary components:

  1. AWS MCP Server: A managed server using the Model Context Protocol that gives agents access to 300+ AWS APIs, sandboxed Python script execution, and real-time documentation search.
  2. Skills: Curated packages of instructions and reference materials that agents load on demand to complete specific AWS tasks.
  3. Plugins: Bundles that combine MCP Server configurations and skills for easy installation into popular coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

Who it’s for

Developers using AI coding agents (such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Kiro) who want to automate AWS infrastructure management, application deployment, and DevSecOps workflows.

Highlights

  • Broad Integration: Works with multiple AI coding agents and provides a standardized way to add AWS capabilities.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Includes specialized plugins for core AWS services, AI agent building (Bedrock), data analytics (Glue, Athena), and DevSecOps (security scanning and incident investigation).
  • Enterprise Guardrails: Features IAM condition keys to distinguish agent actions from human actions, along with CloudWatch metrics and CloudTrail audit logging for monitoring.
  • Sandboxed Execution: Allows agents to run complex multi-step operations via isolated Python scripts.
