AWS CLI MCP Server

What this does

AWS CLI MCP Server exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation.

Requirements

This server declares the following environment variables. Set only the ones the maker requires for your setup; this listing does not flag any of them as required:

AWS_REGION
AWS_PROFILE
AWS_MCP_WORKING_DIR
AWS_MCP_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION
AWS_MCP_LOG_LEVEL

Set these via the env object in your MCP config (see claude_desktop_config.json snippet above).

How do I install AWS CLI MCP Server?

Run the Claude Code command in the install section to add AWS CLI MCP Server to Claude Code, or copy the ready-made config for your client from the install section on this page. Restart your client afterwards and the tools appear in your next conversation.

Which clients work with AWS CLI MCP Server?

This page carries setup and config for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code. Any other MCP client that accepts a standard server config can connect to AWS CLI MCP Server as well.

Does AWS CLI MCP Server need an API key?

This listing does not flag an API key as required. The server can use these environment variables: AWS_REGION, AWS_PROFILE, AWS_MCP_WORKING_DIR, AWS_MCP_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION, AWS_MCP_LOG_LEVEL; the maker's docs say which of them your setup needs. They go in the env block of your MCP config.
