AWS MCP Server General Availability

AWS announces the general availability of the AWS MCP Server, a managed server that provides AI coding agents with secure, auditable access to AWS services through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This server is a core component of the Agent Toolkit for AWS, enabling coding agents to interact with AWS while maintaining visibility and control.

New Features

  • Agents can now call any AWS API through a single tool, including operations that require file uploads or long-running execution.
  • Sandboxed script execution allows agents to run Python code against AWS services for multi-step operations without access to the local filesystem or shell tools.
  • Agent skills replace agent SOPs with a more flexible format, enabling agents to discover and load curated guidance on demand.
  • Documentation search and skill discovery no longer require AWS credentials.
