AI-Powered Security Analysis for AWS — official MCP server.

Gives any MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) two tools to analyze AWS IAM policies and CloudFormation templates for security risks — privilege escalation paths, wildcards, and other over-permissive access. Powered by Shieldly.
