AWS has introduced an enhanced CLI agent for Amazon Q Developer, which now allows developers to interact with AI directly in their command-line interface. This upgrade integrates advanced capabilities from Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Amazon Bedrock, enabling a more dynamic coding experience. The CLI agent can execute commands autonomously and engage in multi-turn conversations, making development processes much more efficient.
The agent can handle tasks such as scaffolding applications, querying AWS resources, and debugging issues all without leaving the terminal. Developers can initiate commands like "scaffold a new application" and the agent will handle subsequent actions, including installing dependencies and committing changes to Git.
For a detailed walkthrough of its capabilities, refer to the Amazon Q Developer User Guide.
Claude Code Launch
Anthropic has also released Claude Code, a terminal-based coding assistant that allows developers to interact with AI through the command line. Claude Code excels at understanding complex codebases and automating modifications across multiple files without explicit instructions.
Claude Code can also participate in various development tasks such as adding tests, debugging build errors, and committing changes to repositories. It provides reasoning for its actions and summarizes completed tasks, ensuring developers are kept informed throughout the process.
AWS MCP Servers for AI-Assisted Development
AWS has launched the open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) Servers designed to enhance AI-powered code assistants. These servers integrate with tools like Amazon Q, providing context-aware guidance that accelerates development while ensuring adherence to best practices in security and cost optimization.
MCP Servers enable AI assistants to utilize specialized tooling and access AWS domain-specific knowledge, significantly improving code quality and developer efficiency.
Key benefits include:
- Accelerated Development: Provides ready-to-use code snippets based on best practices.
- Enhanced Security: Implements secure configurations aligned with AWS policies.
- Cost Optimization: Offers insights into AWS pricing for informed decision-making.

Multi-Language Support in Amazon Q Developer
Amazon Q Developer has expanded its multi-language support within the IDE and CLI to include languages such as Mandarin, French, German, and more. This enhancement allows developers to communicate in their preferred language and receive responses tailored to that language, thus making development more accessible for global teams.
To explore these capabilities, visit Amazon Q Developer and check the AWS regions where this feature is available.
SSOJet Integration
In a development environment where efficient authentication is crucial, integrating solutions like SSOJet can significantly enhance security and streamline user management. SSOJet's API-first platform enables enterprises to implement secure single sign-on (SSO), supporting directory sync, SAML, OIDC, and magic link authentication.
By leveraging SSOJet's services, organizations can facilitate seamless user experiences while maintaining robust security protocols. Explore SSOJet's offerings at SSOJet to enhance your authentication strategies in sync with innovative development tools like Amazon Q Developer and Claude Code.
