Agent Toolkit for AWS is a collection of AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, plugins, commands, and hooks that help AI coding agents build, deploy, and manage applications on AWS. It is used by developers working with AWS services through agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Kiro. The catalogue entries are the toolkit's own agent extensions for AWS development and operations.
Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00067 | $0.03057 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.01223 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00611 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00306 |
Grade D, and why
setup-devops-agent scanned grade D with 3 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 1mo 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.

AWS DevOps Agent — Claude Setup
The instructions below are specifically for setting up the AWS DevOps Agent plugin for Claude applications. For other clients, use this as a reference, but adjust the instructions based on the client's specific requirements.
Step 0: Check if setup is needed
1/ Check if the "aws-devops-agent" MCP server is running. If it is, verify that it has a valid connection (see "Step 3: Verify connectivity").
If verification is successful, you should inform the user that the plugin is already setup using SigV4 or Bearer Token. Offer that you can switch the configuration to Bearer Token or SigV4, see "Step 2: Decide auth path" below for details.
If the user does not want to change their auth configuration, then you are DONE STOP HERE.
2/ Check for an MCP server config with a key "aws-devops-agent" in the following locations:
- Plugin scoped:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.mcp.json - Project-scoped: .mcp.json (in your project directory, version-controlled)
- Project-specific: .claude/settings.local.json (in your project directory)
- User-specific local: ~/.claude/settings.local.json
- User-specific global: ~/.claude/settings.json
- Main Claude.json: ~/.claude.json
- Dedicated MCP file: ~/.claude/mcp_servers.json
Then:
- If
aws-devops-agentkey exists AND the server is connected (tools are available, see "Step 3: Verify connectivity") → Inform the user: "DevOps Agent is already configured and connected."; If Bearer Token is used in the MCP config, suggest that you can alternatively setup the plugin to use SigV4 credentials for the AWS DevOps Agent (multiple agent spaces, admin tooling). If SigV4 credentials are used in the MCP config, suggest that you can alternatively setup the plugin to use Bearer Token credentials for the AWS DevOps Agent (single agent space). - If
aws-devops-agentkey exists but is failing → continue to "Step 1: Diagnose current state" - If
aws-devops-agentkey does NOT exist → continue to "Step 1: Diagnose current state"
What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

setup-devops-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws (2,919 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 3,057 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
