How to use AWS Resources MCP Server?

To use the server, you can install it via Smithery or Docker. You'll need to configure AWS credentials (access key, secret key, region, or a profile). Then, you can send Python code snippets to the server that use boto3 to interact with AWS resources. The server will execute the code and return the result in JSON format.

Key features of AWS Resources MCP Server

FAQ from AWS Resources MCP Server

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is a protocol for interacting with AI models by providing them with contextual information. See Anthropic's MCP documentation for more details.

What AWS permissions are required?

The AWS permissions required depend on the queries you intend to execute. The IAM user or role used by the server needs appropriate permissions for the AWS services being queried or modified.

How do I secure my AWS credentials?

Never commit your AWS credentials to version control. Use environment variables or a profile stored in ~/.aws/credentials to manage your credentials securely.

What libraries can I import in my code snippets?

You can import boto3, operator, json, datetime, pytz, dateutil, re, and time.

How is the code executed securely?

The server uses AST-based code analysis to validate imports and code structure and runs the code in a restricted execution environment with limited built-in functions.
