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.

What's New

Streamable HTTP transport — New streamable-http transport for web-based MCP clients, replacing the deprecated sse transport (#33)

Input validation error handling — Validation errors now return proper MCP tool errors (isError: true) instead of regular results (#34)

Server description — Server advertises its purpose to MCP clients via the instructions field (#35)

Server icons — Server provides icon metadata for MCP client display (#36)

Graceful shutdown — Server disconnects cleanly when the MCP client disconnects (#16)
