AWS Support MCP Server

The Amazon Web Services Support API is a comprehensive programmatic interface provided by AWS that enables developers, system administrators, and automated workflows to interact directly with the AWS Support Center.

Quick Start Summary

The AWS Support MCP server is a Model Context Protocol bridge that connects AI assistants — including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot — to the AWS Support API through natural language. It exposes 10 API endpoints as callable tools, such as AddAttachmentsToSet, AddCommunicationToCase, CreateCase, 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-support. This integration is sourced from the auto AWS Support OpenAPI specification (v2013-04-15) and has a quality score of 46/99 (fair documentation coverage).

📖 Detailed MCP Integration Guide

A technical breakdown of capabilities, agent workflows, and security/configuration best practices.

Capabilities & Use Cases
The Amazon Web Services Support API is a comprehensive programmatic interface provided by AWS that enables developers, system administrators, and automated workflows to interact directly with the AWS Support Center. This API serves as the backbone for managing technical support engagements with AWS, allowing users to create, update, query, and resolve support cases without manual console interaction. Its core capabilities include creating new support cases with specified service categories and severity levels, adding and retrieving attachments and communication threads within those cases, and programmatically accessing AWS Trusted Advisor check results and service health information. It is designed for enterprise environments with mission-critical workloads on AWS, as well as for DevOps teams and automated systems that require rapid, integrated incident management and health monitoring as part of their operational pipelines. Typical use cases include automated ticketing systems that escalate production issues, scripts that gather service health data for internal dashboards, and infrastructure-as-code pipelines that need to verify service limits or status before deployment.
🤖AI Agent Value
When exposed as a set of tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to an AI coding assistant, the AWS Support API unlocks powerful, context-aware automation for developers. The AI agent can leverage these tools to transform natural language instructions into precise API calls, bridging the gap between human intent and system action. For instance, a developer can instruct the AI to “create a support case for a production outage in us-east-1 related to EC2” and have it generate the correct CreateCase request with the appropriate parameters. The AI can also use the DescribeCases and DescribeCommunications tools to pull a case history into the current conversation, allowing it to summarize updates or suggest next steps. Furthermore, it can programmatically refresh and retrieve Trusted Advisor checks to answer questions like “Are there any recent security recommendations for our S3 buckets?” This integration turns the AI into a proactive operations assistant that can diagnose issues, initiate support workflows, and provide data-driven advice based on real-time AWS account status.
💬Example Workflows
In a practical workflow, a developer can instruct the AI agent to perform a sequence of dynamic tasks to automate incident management. For example, the agent can first use DescribeServices to verify the correct technical service code for Amazon RDS, then use DescribeSeverityLevels to select the appropriate level for a database failure. It can then create a new case with CreateCase, automatically attaching relevant logs or configuration files by using AddAttachmentsToSet. Once the case is open, the agent can be tasked to periodically run DescribeCommunications to monitor for AWS engineer responses and update the developer. Another scenario involves proactive maintenance: an AI agent can be configured to run DescribeTrustedAdvisorCheckRefreshStatuses and DescribeTrustedAdvisorCheckResult to scan for cost optimization or security vulnerabilities, then automatically create a low-severity case if critical issues are found, attaching the specific check results for context. These workflows shift support management from a manual, interrupt-driven process to an automated, intelligent service.
🛡️Security & Auth
Critical to implementing this API securely is understanding its authentication model, which is based on AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and AWS Signature Version 4, not the “None” listed in the basic description. All requests must be cryptographically signed using temporary or long-term credentials with appropriate permissions. Developers must adhere to the principle of least privilege, creating a dedicated IAM policy that grants only the specific support:* actions required for their use case, rather than broad administrative access. For enhanced security, it is strongly recommended to use IAM roles with temporary credentials in EC2 or Lambda, avoid hardcoding access keys, and utilize VPC endpoints if making calls from within an AWS VPC to keep traffic off the public internet. All API communication should occur over TLS 1.2 or higher, and sensitive attachment data should be encrypted at rest in S3 before being referenced. These practices ensure that while the API enables powerful automation, it does not become a vector for unauthorized access or data exposure within an organization’s AWS environment.

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.
