agent-toolkit-for-aws
Official, AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, and plugins to help AI agents build on AWS
The Agent Toolkit for AWS is an officially supported collection of Claude Code plugins, MCP servers, and agent skills that enable AI coding assistants to build, deploy, and manage applications on Amazon Web Services. It includes plugins for core AWS services (CDK, Lambda, containers, storage), AI agent development with Amazon Bedrock, data analytics workflows, and DevSecOps automation. The toolkit works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Kiro, and other AI assistants, providing them with authenticated AWS API access, sandboxed script execution, and real-time documentation retrieval through a managed MCP server.
