aws-mcp-routing

aws-mcp-routing is a skill for Claude Code from odere-pro/claude-aws-architect. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,391 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing workflow for consulting AWS information and tools about cloud services, infrastructure, pricing, security, access control, and monitoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate AWS facts, infrastructure code, costs, IAM permissions, security findings, quotas, and CloudWatch operations.
Why use it?
It helps choose the appropriate AWS knowledge source and provides fallback handling when a service is unavailable or times out.

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 A, and why

aws-mcp-routing 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 10d 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.

When to Use

Apply this skill any time an agent needs to consult an AWS MCP server. That includes the orchestrator's grounding step, every L3 specialist's MCP call, and any rule that delegates to a server. Do not apply this skill for non-AWS knowledge; use the agent's own reasoning or a non-MCP source.

Trigger conditions:

  • The agent must answer a factual AWS question (quota, API shape, region availability, ARN, pricing).
  • The agent must validate a CloudFormation or CDK construct.
  • The agent must check IAM least-privilege, security findings, or operational metrics.
  • The agent's previous MCP call timed out or returned a 5xx and a fallback decision is required.
  • The agent is about to issue a tool call whose name might breach the 64-character fully-qualified-tool-name limit; this skill verifies the resolved server key.

Procedure

  1. Classify the request. Determine which of the six categories the request belongs to: docs, IaC, cost, security review, IAM, or operations. The category determines the server.
  2. Select the server. Consult references/selection-rules.md for the category-to-server mapping. Use the short identifier (kb, iac, cost, sec, iam, cw) defined in .mcp.json, never the descriptive logical name in tool calls.
  3. Select the tool. Consult the per-server tool catalogue in references/server-roster.md. Pick the narrowest tool that satisfies the request. Wide tools (e.g. broad documentation search) waste the per-specialist MCP-call budget (8 calls for discovery, 12 for solution-architect, 16 for implementation).
  4. Verify the server is enabled. Before issuing the first call to a server in a session, confirm mcp__<server>__* tools are present in the available tool list. If not, the server is disabled or pending approval — emit mcp-disabled-<server> per references/degraded-modes.md with remediation copy (run /mcp, edit disabledMcpjsonServers, or run /aws-doctor) and do not proceed with the call. One marker per server, per session.
  5. Issue the call within the timeout budget. The per-server timeoutMs value in .mcp.json is the per-call budget; the agent's MCP-call budget is the per-invocation cap. Both must be respected.
  6. Handle response. On success, capture the result. On timeout or 5xx, consult references/degraded-modes.md for the per-server fallback behaviour and emit the corresponding labelled marker in the agent's output.
  7. Record the citation. Every successful MCP call must be recorded in the grounding ledger via the aws-grounding-cache skill, producing a <server>:<short-key> reference for use in grounded-by fields.

aws-mcp-routing is a skill published in the GitHub repository odere-pro/claude-aws-architect (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 1,391 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
