What It Does

This MCP server lets Claude run AWS CLI commands on your behalf. Instead of wrapping each AWS API individually, it wraps the CLI itself—giving Claude complete AWS access through just two tools:

Tool

Purpose

aws_cli_help

Get documentation for any AWS command

aws_cli_pipeline

Execute AWS CLI commands with optional pipes (jq, grep, etc.)

Claude learns commands on-demand using --help, then executes them. Your IAM policy controls what it can actually do.
