Set up AWS credentials with access to AWS services
Installation
Here are some ways you can work with MCP across AWS, and we'll be adding support to more products including Amazon Q Developer CLI soon: (e.g. for Amazon Q Developer CLI MCP, ~/.aws/amazonq/mcp.json):
AWS Authentication
The MCP server uses the AWS profile specified in the AWS_PROFILE environment variable. If not provided, it defaults to the "default" profile in your AWS configuration file.
Make sure the AWS profile has permissions to access the AWS Pricing API. The MCP server creates a boto3 session using the specified profile to authenticate with AWS services. Your AWS IAM credentials remain on your local machine and are strictly used for accessing AWS services.
