About AWS MCP Server

AWS MCP Server is an MCP server for operations on AWS resources, currently covering S3 and DynamoDB. All operations are logged automatically and can be read through the audit://aws-operations resource.

Key features

  1. 01S3 bucket and object create, list, read and delete
  2. 02DynamoDB table, item and TTL management
  3. 03Batch reads, writes and PartiQL statement execution
  4. 04Automatic audit logging of all operations

Use cases

  1. 01Creating or cleaning up S3 buckets through an AI assistant
  2. 02Querying and updating items in DynamoDB tables
  3. 03Reviewing operations an AI assistant performed on AWS resources

MCP support

The project is an MCP server that exposes S3 and DynamoDB tools to MCP clients and provides an audit log through the audit://aws-operations resource.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aws": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@smithery/cli"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commandnpx -y @smithery/cli

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Running locally with the Claude desktop app

Installing via Smithery

To install AWS MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install mcp-server-aws --client claude
Manual Installation
  1. Clone this repository.
  2. Set up your AWS credentials via one of the two methods below. Note that this server requires an IAM user with RW permissions for your AWS account for S3 and DynamoDB.
  • Environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION (defaults to us-east-1)
  • Default AWS credential chain (set up via AWS CLI with aws configure)
  1. Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json file:
  • On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
"mcpServers": {
  "mcp-server-aws": {
    "command": "uv",
    "args": [
      "--directory",
      "/path/to/repo/mcp-server-aws",
      "run",
      "mcp-server-aws"
    ]
  }
}
  1. Install and open the Claude desktop app.
  2. Try asking Claude to do a read/write operation of some sort to confirm the setup (e.g. create an S3 bucket and give it a random name). If there are issues, use the Debugging tools provided in the MCP documentation here.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
