What is aws-doc-sse CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for an MCP server that reads and searches AWS documentation. MCP is a standard way for an AI application to call tools provided by another program.

Use it when working on the AWS Documentation MCP Server, including its documentation-reading and search tools, the global and AWS China variants, shared utilities, data models, and response parsing.

It explains the repository layout, the supported AWS documentation partitions, and the tools an agent can use. This reduces guesswork when changing or extending the server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00712	$0.00712
Opus 5.5	$0.00285	$0.00285

Security

Grade A, and why

aws-doc-sse CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Repository Overview

This is the AWS Documentation MCP Server - a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools to access AWS documentation, search for content, and get recommendations.

Architecture

Project Structure

awslabs/aws_documentation_mcp_server/
├── server.py          # Main entry point that routes to partition-specific servers
├── server_aws.py      # Global AWS documentation server implementation
├── server_aws_cn.py   # AWS China documentation server implementation
├── server_utils.py    # Shared utilities for documentation reading
├── models.py          # Pydantic data models
└── util.py            # Utility functions for parsing responses

Key Components

Partition Routing: The server supports two partitions controlled by AWS_DOCUMENTATION_PARTITION environment variable:
- aws (default): Global AWS documentation
- aws-cn: AWS China documentation
Available Tools:
- read_documentation: Fetches and converts AWS documentation pages to markdown
- search_documentation: Search AWS docs (global only)
- recommend: Get content recommendations (global only)
- get_available_services: List available services (China only)
Dependencies: Uses FastMCP framework, httpx for HTTP requests, markdownify for HTML-to-markdown conversion, and BeautifulSoup for HTML parsing.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
