AWS MCP Servers

What it does

• AWS Labs' umbrella repository of official MCP servers — aws-api, IaC (CDK/Terraform), docs, pricing, support, and more
• Each server installs independently via uvx (awslabs.<name>-mcp-server@latest)
• aws-docs pulls current AWS documentation and limits into context; aws-pricing estimates before you provision
• Official AWS-maintained — consolidates the earlier per-service labs repos

When to use it

Best for operating AWS from Claude Code: checking current docs and quotas without leaving the session, estimating costs before provisioning, and making guarded infrastructure changes through the api/IaC servers with your existing AWS credentials.

Getting started

claude mcp add aws-docs uvx awslabs.aws-documentation-mcp-server@latest
claude mcp add aws-api uvx awslabs.aws-api-mcp-server@latest

AWS credentials come from your standard chain (env / profile); scope the role to what the agent should touch.

Things to know

Write-capable servers (aws-api) act on real infrastructure — use a least-privilege role and prefer the read-only servers in production accounts. Python/uvx based; keep uv installed and pin versions for reproducible CI.
