## Best for
Coding agents that deploy to AWS and need current, AWS-supported guidance and tooling.

## Avoid if
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.

## Connect to an MCP client
Launch command from the project's README: `uvx mcp-proxy-for-aws-cli@latest https://aws-mcp.us-east-1.api.aws/mcp --metadata AWS_REGION=us-west-2`

### Claude Code (Run in your terminal)

```shell
claude mcp add agent-toolkit-for-aws -- uvx mcp-proxy-for-aws-cli@latest https://aws-mcp.us-east-1.api.aws/mcp --metadata AWS_REGION=us-west-2
```

### Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-toolkit-for-aws": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-proxy-for-aws-cli@latest",
        "https://aws-mcp.us-east-1.api.aws/mcp",
        "--metadata",
        "AWS_REGION=us-west-2"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json)

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "agent-toolkit-for-aws": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-proxy-for-aws-cli@latest",
        "https://aws-mcp.us-east-1.api.aws/mcp",
        "--metadata",
        "AWS_REGION=us-west-2"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-toolkit-for-aws": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-proxy-for-aws-cli@latest",
        "https://aws-mcp.us-east-1.api.aws/mcp",
        "--metadata",
        "AWS_REGION=us-west-2"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

```toml
[mcp_servers.agent-toolkit-for-aws]
command = "uvx"
args = ["mcp-proxy-for-aws-cli@latest", "https://aws-mcp.us-east-1.api.aws/mcp", "--metadata", "AWS_REGION=us-west-2"]
```
