AWS MCP Server Configuration Guide

Overview

This guide helps you configure AWS MCP tools for AI agents. Two options are available:

Option	Requirements	Capabilities
Full AWS MCP Server	Python 3.10+, uvx, AWS credentials	Execute AWS API calls + documentation search
AWS Documentation MCP	None	Documentation search only

Step 1: Check Existing Configuration

Before configuring, check if AWS MCP tools are already available using either method:

Method A: Check Available Tools (Recommended)

Look for these tool name patterns in your agent's available tools:

mcp__aws-mcp__* or mcp__aws__* → Full AWS MCP Server configured
mcp__*awsdocs*__aws___* → AWS Documentation MCP configured

How to check: Run /mcp command to list all active MCP servers.

Method B: Check Configuration Files

Agent tools use hierarchical configuration (precedence: local → project → user → enterprise):

Scope	File Location	Use Case
Local	`.claude.json` (in project)	Personal/experimental
Project	`.mcp.json` (project root)	Team-shared
User	`~/.claude.json`	Cross-project personal
Enterprise	System managed directories	Organization-wide

Check these files for mcpServers containing aws-mcp, aws, or awsdocs keys:

# Check project config
cat .mcp.json 2>/dev/null | grep -E '"(aws-mcp|aws|awsdocs)"'

# Check user config
cat ~/.claude.json 2>/dev/null | grep -E '"(aws-mcp|aws|awsdocs)"'

# Or use Claude CLI
claude mcp list

If AWS MCP is already configured, no further setup needed.

Step 2: Choose Configuration Method

Automatic Detection

Run these commands to determine which option to use:

# Check for uvx (requires Python 3.10+)
which uvx || echo "uvx not available"

# Check for valid AWS credentials
aws sts get-caller-identity || echo "AWS credentials not configured"

Option A: Full AWS MCP Server (Recommended)

Use when: uvx available AND AWS credentials valid

Prerequisites:

Python 3.10+ with uv package manager
AWS credentials configured (via profile, environment variables, or IAM role)

Required IAM Permissions:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [{
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Action": [
      "aws-mcp:InvokeMCP",
      "aws-mcp:CallReadOnlyTool",
      "aws-mcp:CallReadWriteTool"
    ],
    "Resource": "*"
  }]
}

Configuration (add to your MCP settings):

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

Credential Configuration Options:

AWS Profile (recommended for development):

"args": [
  "mcp-proxy-for-aws@latest",
  "https://aws-mcp.us-east-1.api.aws/mcp",
  "--profile", "my-profile",
  "--metadata", "AWS_REGION=us-west-2"
]

Environment Variables:

"env": {
  "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "...",
  "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "...",
  "AWS_REGION": "us-west-2"
}

IAM Role (for EC2/ECS/Lambda): No additional config needed - uses instance credentials

Additional Options:

--region <region>: Override AWS region
--read-only: Restrict to read-only tools
--log-level <level>: Set logging level (debug, info, warning, error)

Reference: https://github.com/aws/mcp-proxy-for-aws

Option B: AWS Documentation MCP Server (No Auth)

Use when:

No Python/uvx environment
No AWS credentials
Only need documentation search (no API execution)

Configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awsdocs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://knowledge-mcp.global.api.aws"
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Verification

After configuration, verify tools are available:

For Full AWS MCP:

Look for tools: mcp__aws-mcp__aws___search_documentation, mcp__aws-mcp__aws___call_aws

For Documentation MCP:

Look for tools: mcp__awsdocs__aws___search_documentation, mcp__awsdocs__aws___read_documentation

Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Solution
`uvx: command not found`	uv not installed	Install with `pip install uv` or use Option B
`AccessDenied` error	Missing IAM permissions	Add aws-mcp:* permissions to IAM policy
`InvalidSignatureException`	Credential issue	Check `aws sts get-caller-identity`
Tools not appearing	MCP not started	Restart your agent after config change

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

AWS MCP Server Configuration Guide

Overview

This guide helps you configure AWS MCP tools for AI agents. Two options are available:

Option	Requirements	Capabilities
Full AWS MCP Server	Python 3.10+, uvx, AWS credentials	Execute AWS API calls + documentation search
AWS Documentation MCP	None	Documentation search only

Step 1: Check Existing Configuration

Before configuring, check if AWS MCP tools are already available using either method:

Method A: Check Available Tools (Recommended)

Look for these tool name patterns in your agent's available tools:

mcp__aws-mcp__* or mcp__aws__* → Full AWS MCP Server configured
mcp__*awsdocs*__aws___* → AWS Documentation MCP configured

How to check: Run /mcp command to list all active MCP servers.

Method B: Check Configuration Files

Agent tools use hierarchical configuration (precedence: local → project → user → enterprise):

Scope	File Location	Use Case
Local	`.claude.json` (in project)	Personal/experimental
Project	`.mcp.json` (project root)	Team-shared
User	`~/.claude.json`	Cross-project personal
Enterprise	System managed directories	Organization-wide

Check these files for mcpServers containing aws-mcp, aws, or awsdocs keys:

# Check project config
cat .mcp.json 2>/dev/null | grep -E '"(aws-mcp|aws|awsdocs)"'

# Check user config
cat ~/.claude.json 2>/dev/null | grep -E '"(aws-mcp|aws|awsdocs)"'

# Or use Claude CLI
claude mcp list

If AWS MCP is already configured, no further setup needed.

Step 2: Choose Configuration Method

Automatic Detection

Run these commands to determine which option to use:

# Check for uvx (requires Python 3.10+)
which uvx || echo "uvx not available"

# Check for valid AWS credentials
aws sts get-caller-identity || echo "AWS credentials not configured"

Option A: Full AWS MCP Server (Recommended)

Use when: uvx available AND AWS credentials valid

Prerequisites:

Python 3.10+ with uv package manager
AWS credentials configured (via profile, environment variables, or IAM role)

Required IAM Permissions:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [{
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Action": [
      "aws-mcp:InvokeMCP",
      "aws-mcp:CallReadOnlyTool",
      "aws-mcp:CallReadWriteTool"
    ],
    "Resource": "*"
  }]
}

Configuration (add to your MCP settings):

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

Credential Configuration Options:

AWS Profile (recommended for development):

"args": [
  "mcp-proxy-for-aws@latest",
  "https://aws-mcp.us-east-1.api.aws/mcp",
  "--profile", "my-profile",
  "--metadata", "AWS_REGION=us-west-2"
]

Environment Variables:

"env": {
  "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "...",
  "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "...",
  "AWS_REGION": "us-west-2"
}

IAM Role (for EC2/ECS/Lambda): No additional config needed - uses instance credentials

Additional Options:

--region <region>: Override AWS region
--read-only: Restrict to read-only tools
--log-level <level>: Set logging level (debug, info, warning, error)

Reference: https://github.com/aws/mcp-proxy-for-aws

Option B: AWS Documentation MCP Server (No Auth)

Use when:

No Python/uvx environment
No AWS credentials
Only need documentation search (no API execution)

Configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awsdocs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://knowledge-mcp.global.api.aws"
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Verification

After configuration, verify tools are available:

For Full AWS MCP:

Look for tools: mcp__aws-mcp__aws___search_documentation, mcp__aws-mcp__aws___call_aws

For Documentation MCP:

Look for tools: mcp__awsdocs__aws___search_documentation, mcp__awsdocs__aws___read_documentation

Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Solution
`uvx: command not found`	uv not installed	Install with `pip install uv` or use Option B
`AccessDenied` error	Missing IAM permissions	Add aws-mcp:* permissions to IAM policy
`InvalidSignatureException`	Credential issue	Check `aws sts get-caller-identity`
Tools not appearing	MCP not started	Restart your agent after config change

| Enterprise | System managed directories | Organization-wide |

Check these files for `mcpServers` containing `aws-mcp`, `aws`, or `awsdocs` keys:

```bash
# Check project config
cat .mcp.json 2>/dev/null | grep -E '"(aws-mcp|aws|awsdocs)"'

# Check user config
cat ~/.claude.json 2>/dev/null | grep -E '"(aws-mcp|aws|awsdocs)"'

# Or use Claude CLI

     "--profile", "my-profile",
     "--metadata", "AWS_REGION=us-west-2"
   ]
   ```

2. **Environment Variables**:
   ```json
   "env": {
     "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "...",
     "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "...",
     "AWS_REGION": "us-west-2"
   }
   ```

3. **IAM Role** (for EC2/ECS/Lambda): No additional config needed - uses instance credentials

**Additional Options**:
- `--region <region>`: Override AWS region
- `--read-only`: Restrict to read-only tools

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
