What is AWS MCP Server?

AWS MCP Server is an intermediate layer service that allows developers to access AWS cloud services through simple REST APIs without directly using the complex AWS CLI or SDK. It is particularly suitable for scenarios where multiple AWS accounts need to be centrally managed or custom cloud management interfaces need to be built.

How to use AWS MCP Server?

You can interact with AWS services through simple HTTP requests without installing AWS CLI or configuring complex permissions. The server will automatically handle credential management and service initialization.

Use cases

Suitable for scenarios where a custom cloud management console needs to be built, multiple AWS accounts need to be centrally managed, or a simplified interface needs to be provided for teams unfamiliar with AWS CLI.

Main features

Multi-account supportSupports connecting to and managing multiple AWS accounts, similar to the profile function of AWS CLI

Extensive service supportBuilt-in support for core AWS services such as EC2, S3, and Lambda, and can be easily extended

Secure credential managementSupports multiple credential management methods such as environment variables and configuration files, and has built-in security protection

REST API interfaceProvides a standardized HTTP interface for easy invocation by various clients

Advantages and limitations

Advantages

Simplify access to AWS services and lower the usage threshold

Centrally manage multiple AWS accounts and credentials

Built-in security mechanism to prevent credential leakage

Lightweight deployment without complex configuration

Limitations

The function coverage is not as comprehensive as the native AWS CLI

The performance is slightly lower than directly using the AWS SDK

Requires self-deployment and maintenance of the server

How to use

Install dependencies

Ensure that the Node.js environment is installed, and then install the project dependencies

Configure credentials

Choose a credential configuration method: environment variables, AWS credential files, or IAM roles

Start the server

Run the startup command, and the server listens on port 3000 by default

Test the connection

Access the /health endpoint to confirm the server running status

Usage examples

Monitor S3 bucket usageRegularly check the storage usage and object count of all S3 buckets

Batch manage EC2 instancesStart or stop EC2 instances in the development environment in batches based on tags

Build a serverless pipelineTrigger a Lambda function through the API to process data and store the results in S3

🚀 AWS MCP Server

A service similar to AWS CLI that enables connection to AWS accounts.

🚀 Quick Start

The AWS MCP Server is a service that mimics the functionality of AWS CLI, allowing users to connect to their AWS accounts. Here's how you can get started:

Prerequisites

Node.js installed on your machine.

Installation and Configuration

Install Dependencies
```
npm install
```
Configure AWS Credentials
- Copy the .env.example file and rename it to .env.
- Fill in your AWS credentials in the .env file:
```
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-access-key-id
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret-access-key
AWS_REGION=your-region
```
- If you are using temporary credentials (access key starting with ASIA), make sure to include the session token:
```
AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=your-session-token
```
Set Up Git Hooks To prevent pushing sensitive information to version control, run the following commands:
```
npm install -g Husky
npx husky init
```
Start the Server
```
node .
```
