What is it?

The Agent Toolkit for AWS gives AI coding agents the tools, knowledge, and guardrails needed to work with AWS services. It works with coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Devin, Kiro, and fx, and can also be used from the AWS CLI.

The toolkit is packaged as plugins, agent skills, and rules files. Plugins bundle the AWS MCP Server configuration with skills covering areas such as core AWS services and CDK/CloudFormation, building agents with Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore, data lake and ETL workflows with S3 Tables, Glue, and Athena, DevSecOps tasks with AWS DevOps Agent and AWS Security Agent, and startup architecture and migration guidance.

The AWS MCP Server provides a single authenticated endpoint for AWS API access, sandboxed Python script execution, and real-time AWS documentation search. It also supports IAM condition keys for agent-specific policies, plus CloudWatch metrics and CloudTrail audit logging.

Key features

  • 01Plugins for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Devin that bundle the AWS MCP Server with skills.
  • 02Installable agent skills covering service selection, serverless, containers, storage, and deployment.
  • 03Single authenticated MCP endpoint for AWS API access across AWS services.
  • 04Sandboxed Python script execution for multi-step operations.
  • 05Agent-specific IAM condition keys and CloudTrail audit logging for agent activity.

Use cases

  • Letting a coding agent scaffold CDK or CloudFormation infrastructure for a new AWS project.
  • Building AI agents on Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore with guidance from installed skills.
  • Setting up S3 Tables, Glue, and Athena data pipelines through an agent.
  • Restricting an agent to read-only AWS actions via IAM policies while it works on a codebase.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Run the AWS CLI command to set up the Agent Toolkit

    aws configure agent-toolkit
  2. 2

    In Claude Code, install the aws-core plugin

    /plugin install aws-core@claude-plugins-official
  3. 3

    In Kiro or fx, install the agent skills from this repository

    npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/skills

Things to know

  • Requires an AWS account with locally configured credentials for API calls and script execution.
  • The AWS MCP Server is a managed AWS service, so it depends on AWS endpoints being reachable.
  • Plugins are only available for specific agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Devin; other agents need manual setup.
