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 AWSLimitations
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.
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.

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.
