agent-toolkit-for-aws
by aws
Official AWS plugins, skills and MCP server settings that let AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Kiro work with AWS services. It is meant to help those agents plan, build, deploy and manage applications on AWS with better guidance and guardrails.

What you can do with it
- Install AWS plugins into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Devin, Kiro or fx so the agent understands AWS services
- Let an agent search AWS documentation and call AWS APIs through the AWS MCP Server
- Use agent skills for tasks such as CDK or CloudFormation deployment, serverless, cost checks and security scanning
Make money with it
A freelance developer could offer AWS setup, deployment and migration work to small businesses, using the agent plugins to deliver it faster.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Speed up building and deploying a small company's web app or backend on AWS by letting an AI agent handle routine setup
- Use the cost, architecture and migration guidance to plan moves from Heroku, Azure or GCP and avoid overspending on cloud services
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Install plugins through your coding agent's plugin marketplace (for example /plugin install aws-core@claude-plugins-official), or add the MCP server with uvx and install skills with npx; an AWS account with local credentials is needed for API calls.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Needs an AWS account, and the resources an agent creates can incur AWS charges
- Gives AI agents access to live AWS APIs, so permissions should be kept tight and actions reviewed
- Tied to AWS, so it is of no use for other cloud providers
