AWS MCP Server Reaches General Availability With 40+ Service Integrations and Sandboxed Execution

GitHub·high signal

AWS announced GA of the AWS MCP Server on May 6, giving AI coding agents secure, auditable access to 40+ AWS services through a single MCP tool. New capabilities include sandboxed Python script execution against AWS services (without local filesystem access), IAM context keys for fine-grained access control, and CloudWatch/CloudTrail visibility. The open-source awslabs/mcp repository on GitHub has 9K stars. No additional charge — you pay only for the AWS resources agents use.
