AWS MCP server

AWS is the official remote MCP server from amazon.com. It answers at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-mcp over streamable HTTP and asks you to sign in with your amazon.com account before it lists its tools, so your client opens a login the first time it connects. Our probes reached it 10 of 10 times since 5 September 2026; the last check, on 18 October 2026, got the sign-in challenge, so it is up.

AWS MCP Server lets AI securely access AWS using docs, API calls, and SOP workflows.

Description as the publisher wrote it.

What AWS needs before it works

A sign-in. The server refused to list its tools to an anonymous client and answered with an authentication challenge, which is how an MCP server protected by OAuth behaves. Add it with one of the setups below; the first connection opens a login for your amazon.com account, and the tools appear once you have approved it.

Questions about AWS

Is there an official AWS MCP server?

Yes. It is published by amazon.com and served from docs.aws.amazon.com, the vendor's own domain: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-mcp.

How do I sign in to AWS?

Add the server with a setup above. The first time your client connects it opens the sign-in page for amazon.com; approve it and the tools load.

Is AWS down?

It answered our last check on 18 October 2026 in 679 ms. Over 10 checks since 5 September 2026 it answered 10.

How do I add AWS to Cursor?

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.

Does AWS need an API key?

It needs a sign-in rather than a key you paste: the server answered with an authentication challenge, so your client runs the login when it first connects.

Where this comes from
