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.

Security

Grade B, and why

aws-mcp-setup scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

AWS MCP Server Configuration Guide

Overview

This guide helps you configure AWS MCP tools for AI agents. Two options are available:

Option Requirements Capabilities
Full AWS MCP Server Python 3.10+, uvx, AWS credentials Execute AWS API calls + documentation search
AWS Documentation MCP None Documentation search only

Step 1: Check Existing Configuration

Before configuring, check if AWS MCP tools are already available using either method:

Method A: Check Available Tools (Recommended)

Look for these tool name patterns in your agent's available tools:

  • mcp__aws-mcp__* or mcp__aws__* → Full AWS MCP Server configured
  • mcp__*awsdocs*__aws___* → AWS Documentation MCP configured

How to check: Run /mcp command to list all active MCP servers.

Method B: Check Configuration Files

Agent tools use hierarchical configuration (precedence: local → project → user → enterprise):

Scope File Location Use Case
Local .claude.json (in project) Personal/experimental
Project .mcp.json (project root) Team-shared
User ~/.claude.json Cross-project personal
Enterprise System managed directories Organization-wide

Check these files for mcpServers containing aws-mcp, aws, or awsdocs keys:

# Check project config
cat .mcp.json 2>/dev/null | grep -E '"(aws-mcp|aws|awsdocs)"'

# Check user config
cat ~/.claude.json 2>/dev/null | grep -E '"(aws-mcp|aws|awsdocs)"'

# Or use Claude CLI
claude mcp list

If AWS MCP is already configured, no further setup needed.

Step 2: Choose Configuration Method

Automatic Detection

Run these commands to determine which option to use:

# Check for uvx (requires Python 3.10+)
which uvx || echo "uvx not available"

# Check for valid AWS credentials
aws sts get-caller-identity || echo "AWS credentials not configured"

Option A: Full AWS MCP Server (Recommended)

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.
