What it does
The marketplace holds several plugins with skills and bundled AWS MCP servers. The aws-iac plugin teaches the agent to write CDK and SST stacks without explicit resource names and with pre-deploy validation. Aws-cost-ops wires in the pricing, Cost Explorer and CloudWatch servers to estimate and analyze spend and set alarms. Serverless-eda covers Step Functions, saga and event sourcing patterns per Well-Architected, and aws-agentic-ai covers Bedrock AgentCore services. The shared aws-common plugin configures the AWS documentation MCP.
Who it is for. For developers and DevOps engineers building infrastructure and serverless apps on AWS.
Good fit when
- You need to write or review an AWS CDK or SST stack
- You want a cost estimate before deploying
- You need to deploy an agent on Bedrock AgentCore
Not a fit when
- Your infrastructure is on another cloud
- You use Terraform rather than CDK or SST
Example request
Create a CDK stack with a Lambda that processes S3 events and estimate the monthly costLimitations
Requires an AWS account and configured credentials, and Cost Explorer and other API calls may be billed. Install aws-common first when installing plugins one by one. Payment for and access to AWS from Russia are restricted.
How to disable. Uninstall the plugins via /plugin in Claude Code or the skills via npx skills remove.
Security check
- Uses AWS credentials and can run aws commands
- Cloud actions can change infrastructure and costs
