Agent Toolkit for AWS

AWS's official set of MCP servers, skills and plugins so an agent can build, deploy and operate on AWS

PluginEditors’ pickHigh risk

aws/agent-toolkit-for-awsAuthor: Amazon Web Services

Install

/plugin install aws-core@claude-plugins-official

The plugin is available in the official Anthropic marketplace by default.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

AWS's official toolkit gives coding agents the tools, knowledge and guardrails to work with AWS services. It ships as plugins: aws-core covers service selection, CDK and CloudFormation, serverless, containers, databases, observability, SDKs and cost optimization, with plugins for building agents on Bedrock and AgentCore, for data analytics and for DevSecOps. Skills load on demand for the task at hand. Separately you configure the managed AWS MCP Server, which gives access to any of the hundreds of AWS services through one endpoint, sandboxed Python execution and current documentation search, with IAM condition keys, CloudWatch metrics and CloudTrail audit logging.

Who it is for. For developers and devops engineers who build and operate infrastructure and applications on AWS.

Good fit when

  • You write infrastructure as code with CDK or CloudFormation
  • You build an agent on Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore
  • You set up databases, observability or cost optimization in AWS

Not a fit when

  • The project is not on AWS
  • You need generic backend help unrelated to AWS

Example request

Draft a CDK stack for a serverless API and show me how to deploy it to AWS

Limitations

API calls and script execution need an AWS account with locally configured credentials and uv installed; documentation search and skill discovery work without them. The MCP Server is managed and reaches your AWS resources.

How to disable. Remove the installed plugins via /plugin, delete the skills from your skills directory and remove the AWS MCP Server entry from your MCP config.

Security check

  • The MCP Server calls your AWS account API and runs scripts
  • It can create and change cloud resources

README in short

The README presents the toolkit as AWS's official way to give coding agents tools, knowledge and guardrails for AWS. The aws-core, aws-agents, aws-data-analytics and aws-agents-for-devsecops plugins install from the official Claude Code, Codex or Cursor marketplace, and skills can be added via npx skills. The managed AWS MCP Server provides access to hundreds of services, sandboxed script execution and documentation search. It is described as the successor to AWS Labs tools. Apache-2.0 licensed.

FAQ

Do the skills work without the MCP server?

Yes, skills and the MCP server are independent; skills provide knowledge without it.

How does this differ from AWS Labs tools?

It is the successor, adding IAM condition keys, metrics and audit logging for agent actions.
