Running locally with the Claude desktop app
Installing via Smithery
To install AWS MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
Manual Installation
1. Clone this repository.
2. Set up your AWS credentials via one of the two methods below. Note that this server requires an IAM user with RW permissions for your AWS account for S3 and DynamoDB.
- Environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION (defaults to us-east-1)
- Default AWS credential chain (set up via AWS CLI with aws configure)
3. Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json file:
- On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
4. Install and open the Claude desktop app.
5. Try asking Claude to do a read/write operation of some sort to confirm the setup (e.g. create an S3 bucket and give it a random name). If there are issues, use the Debugging tools provided in the MCP documentation here.
