AWS MCP Suite: Query and Manage Your Entire AWS Cloud via Natural Language
What It Does
The AWS MCP Suite is the official bridge between AI agents and your AWS infrastructure. Instead of wrestling with SDK boilerplate, IAM policy syntax, and credential management, you can now ask Claude or Cursor to inspect EC2 instances, query DynamoDB tables, upload to S3, invoke Lambda functions, and manage RDS databases—all through conversation.
The suite wraps seven core AWS services (DynamoDB, S3, Lambda, EC2, RDS/Aurora, CloudWatch, and IAM) into a permission-aware protocol. Your agent inherits your existing AWS credentials—IAM roles, profiles, or environment variables—so there's no extra auth layer to configure. Critically, scoped permissions mean your agent only touches what you've explicitly allowed via your IAM setup. You stay in control.
Real wins: You can ask your agent to "list all EC2 instances in us-east-1 and stop the ones tagged 'dev'," or "create a snapshot of my production RDS database and show me the latest CloudWatch metrics," or "upload this CSV to S3 and update the bucket lifecycle policy." The agent handles the API calls, error handling, and response parsing. You get structured, natural-language infrastructure management.
How to Install
npx -y @aws/mcp
Add it to your Claude Desktop config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aws-mcp-suite": {
"command": "npx -y @aws/mcp"
}
}
}
Same process for Cursor or Windsurf. Your AWS credentials are picked up automatically from ~/.aws/credentials, environment variables, or IAM roles (if running on EC2/Lambda).
Real-World Use Cases
- Infrastructure auditing: Ask Claude to scan all your EC2 security groups and report which ones allow unrestricted inbound traffic on port 22, then remediate them in one shot.
- Database operations: Query RDS logs, create snapshots, and check Aurora performance metrics without leaving your editor—great for debugging production issues on the fly.
- CI/CD helpers: Invoke Lambda functions directly from Cursor to trigger deployments, check job status, or pull CloudWatch logs—no terminal tab-switching needed.
