About awslabs/mcp
A collection of open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for AWS services, maintained by AWS Labs. Each server exposes AWS capabilities (e.g., EC2, S3, Lambda) to MCP-compatible clients, enabling programmatic control via natural language or structured prompts.
Best for
Developers building AI assistants or automation tools that need to interact with AWS services via the Model Context Protocol.
Use cases
- Manage AWS resources like EC2 instances or S3 buckets through an MCP client
- Automate infrastructure tasks by chaining AWS service calls in a conversational interface
- Prototype AWS integrations without writing custom API wrappers
Notes
9,171 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-06-01. Licensed Apache-2.0.
Pros

- Broad coverage of popular AWS services in a single repository
- Python-based, making it easy to extend or contribute
Cons
- Requires an MCP-compatible client and AWS credentials to use
- Documentation and examples may lag behind service updates
- Not all AWS services are covered; gaps exist for niche offerings
