AWS Migration Hub MCP Server

The AWS Migration Hub API provides a centralized programmatic interface for managing and tracking server and application migrations at scale, offered as part of Amazon Web Services' comprehensive cloud migration and modernization portfolio.

Quick Start Summary

The AWS Migration Hub MCP server is a Model Context Protocol bridge that connects AI assistants — including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot — to the AWS Migration Hub API through natural language. It exposes 10 API endpoints as callable tools, such as AssociateCreatedArtifact, AssociateDiscoveredResource, CreateProgressUpdateStream, and more. No authentication is required — setup takes approximately 30 seconds. The server uses STDIO transport and can be installed by running npx -y @mcp/amazonaws-com-awsmigrationhub. This integration is sourced from the auto AWS Migration Hub OpenAPI specification (v2017-05-31) and has a quality score of 46/99 (fair documentation coverage).

Capabilities & Use Cases
The AWS Migration Hub API provides a centralized programmatic interface for managing and tracking server and application migrations at scale, offered as part of Amazon Web Services' comprehensive cloud migration and modernization portfolio. This API serves as the control plane for Migration Hub, enabling enterprise customers and cloud architects to programmatically integrate migration status tracking, application state management, and resource association workflows into their existing DevOps pipelines and migration automation tooling. Its core capabilities include creating and managing progress update streams for different migration tools, associating and disassociating both AWS-discovered resources and artifacts created by migration tools with specific applications or tasks, importing migration tasks from external sources, and querying the real-time status of applications and individual migration tasks. Typical use cases involve large-scale data center migrations where hundreds or thousands of servers are being moved to AWS, application portfolio assessments, and hybrid-cloud transitions where organizations need a unified dashboard and API layer to orchestrate tools like AWS Application Migration Service, AWS Database Migration Service, or third-party solutions.
🤖AI Agent Value
When exposed as tools to an AI coding assistant via the Model Context Protocol, this API unlocks powerful new workflows for developer productivity and migration intelligence. The AI agent gains the ability to directly interrogate the migration hub for real-time status updates, programmatically correlate discovered resources with migration tasks, and automate the lifecycle management of migration streams without manual console navigation. For instance, an AI assistant can be instructed to query the current application state of a specific workload, then based on that data, suggest or execute the next logical step in the migration plan. This creates a dynamic bridge between static infrastructure-as-code templates and the live, evolving state of a migration project, allowing the AI to provide context-aware recommendations, generate status reports, or trigger downstream automation in response to migration milestones.
💬Example Workflows
Practical workflow examples demonstrate significant automation potential. A developer could instruct the AI agent to "query all migration tasks in progress for application X and summarize their status," followed by "update the progress notes in the associated Jira ticket for any task stuck in 'ready for testing' for over 48 hours." The AI could also perform complex association management, such as "find all EC2 instances discovered in the target account that belong to the database migration project and disassociate any that have been decommissioned, then create a report of the cleanup action." In a continuous integration pipeline, the AI could be tasked to "monitor the CreateProgressUpdateStream for our main application and automatically trigger the next deployment stage in our Azure DevOps pipeline once the migration status reaches 'ready for testing'." These examples show how transforming the API into MCP tools turns descriptive migration data into actionable, automated insights.
🛡️Security & Auth
Critical security and configuration considerations are paramount when implementing this integration. Authentication is handled via standard AWS IAM credentials, requiring developers to securely manage access keys or, preferably, use role-based access with temporary credentials from the AWS Security Token Service. The principle of least privilege must be strictly enforced: the IAM policy attached to the credentials used by the MCP server should grant only the specific Migration Hub API permissions necessary for the intended tasks (e.g., migratehub:ListApplicationStates, migratehub:AssociateDiscoveredResource) and should be scoped to specific resource ARNs where possible. Developers must ensure that the AI assistant's execution environment protects AWS secrets from exposure and that all API calls are logged via AWS CloudTrail for auditability. Furthermore, the required initial configuration step of setting the Migration Hub home region via the AWSMigrationHub.SetHomeRegion operation or an environment variable must be completed before any other API call is made, as all subsequent operations are region-scoped. This ensures data integrity and proper routing within AWS's global infrastructure.

DigitalOcean API MCP Setup

The DigitalOcean API is a comprehensive, RESTful interface provided by DigitalOcean, a leading cloud infrastructure provider focused on simplifying cloud computing for developers, startups, and enterprises. It serves as the programmatic backbone for managing the entire DigitalOcean ecosystem, enabling users to provision, configure, and control cloud resources such as Droplets (virtual private servers), Kubernetes clusters, managed databases, networks, storage volumes, and application platforms. Core capabilities include full lifecycle management of these resources, from creation and scaling to monitoring and deletion, mirroring the functionality available in the DigitalOcean control panel. Its primary use cases range from automating infrastructure setup for CI/CD pipelines and enabling infrastructure-as-code practices to supporting dynamic application scaling and resource optimization for SaaS products, e-commerce sites, and development environments. The API is designed for both developers seeking to automate their cloud operations and businesses that require programmable, scalable cloud infrastructure without the complexity of larger hyperscale providers.

Access Analyzer MCP Setup

The AWS Identity and Access Management Access Analyzer API provides a powerful, policy-as-code service that automatically identifies resources accessible from outside your AWS account or organization. At its core, the service continuously evaluates resource-based policies—such as Amazon S3 bucket policies, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles, Amazon KMS key policies, and AWS Lambda function policies—using logic-based reasoning to determine which resources grant access to unknown external principals. Its primary use case is for security and compliance teams within enterprises to proactively detect unintended data exposure, enforce least privilege principles, and audit cross-account and cross-service access. The API endpoints allow programmatic control to create, configure, and query analyzers, manage archive rules for storing findings, and generate custom policy documents, making it a foundational tool for automating cloud security posture management at scale.
