Agent Toolkit for AWS
AWS's official MCP servers, skills and plugins that help coding agents build and deploy on AWS.
Sources and review
Checked against public documentation on . Suitability guidance is our editorial judgment; this is not a performance benchmark or an endorsement.
Coding agents that deploy to AWS and need current, AWS-supported guidance and tooling.
You want AWS actions without local credentials; API calls and scripts need an AWS account configured on the machine, though documentation search does not.
About Agent Toolkit for AWS
The Agent Toolkit for AWS gives coding agents tools, knowledge and guardrails for AWS work, covering service selection, CDK and CloudFormation, serverless, containers, storage, observability, billing and SDK usage. It works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Kiro and the AWS CLI, connecting to AWS's remote MCP endpoint through a local proxy.
Agent Toolkit for AWS is listed in this index written primarily in Python, with 3.4k stars on GitHub. Its latest recorded repository push was in November 2026; that is not an ASE editorial review date.
Before connecting: access and data
This record's specific permissions have not been reviewed by ASE. Read the publisher's documentation before copying setup or connecting.
- List the accounts, files and services the enabled tools can read, change or execute. Check your actual credentials and discovered tools.
- Use narrowly scoped credentials and read-only mode where supported. Review proposed writes before approving them; a generated configuration does not apply these limits for you.
- Local launch is not local-only data processing. External services receive requests, and your client may pass tool results to its model provider. Check both destinations before sharing private data.
- Keep keys and browser session files out of shared config, repositories and screenshots. Know how to disconnect the server and separately revoke its credentials or account sessions.
Add Agent Toolkit for AWS to your MCP client
Generated from the launch command in the project's README. Your client starts the server on demand.
