Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL now supports integration with Kiro powers

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition Integration with Kiro Powers

AWS has introduced Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition integration with Kiro powers, allowing developers to expedite the creation of Aurora PostgreSQL-backed applications using AI agent-assisted development with Kiro.

Kiro Powers

Kiro powers is a collection of pre-packaged Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, steering files, and hooks verified by Kiro partners to accelerate specialized software development and deployment use cases. The Kiro power for Aurora PostgreSQL includes the MCP server with tailored database development guidance, providing the Kiro agent with immediate expertise in Aurora PostgreSQL operations and schema design.

The Kiro power for Aurora PostgreSQL combines direct database connectivity through the Aurora PostgreSQL MCP server for data plane operations (queries, table creation, schema management) and control plane operations (cluster creation) with a steering file containing Aurora PostgreSQL-specific best practices. When developers work on database tasks, the power dynamically loads relevant guidance—whether creating new Aurora clusters, designing schemas, or optimizing queries—so AI agents receive only the context needed for the specific task at hand.

What to do

• Install the Aurora PostgreSQL power within the Kiro IDE or from the Kiro powers webpage for one-click installation.
• Create and manage Aurora PostgreSQL clusters in all AWS Regions.
• Read the blog post for more information about development use cases.
• Visit the documentation to learn more about the Aurora PostgreSQL MCP server.

Amazon Aurora is designed for high performance and availability at a global scale with full PostgreSQL compatibility. It offers built-in security, continuous backups, serverless compute, up to 15 read replicas, and automated multi-Region replication.
