 "title": "Add the AWS MCP Server and skills to Kiro",
 "page_title": "How to add the AWS MCP Server and skills to Kiro with Agent Toolkit for AWS",
 "summary": "Configure the AWS MCP Server and install the toolkit's skills so Kiro can search docs and call AWS APIs.",
 "who": "A Kiro user who wants real-time AWS documentation search and API access inside the agent.",
 "problem": "Without a documentation source and API access the agent works from memory.",
 "outcome": "Kiro with the AWS MCP Server for runtime API access and documentation search, plus locally installed skills.",
 "steps": [
  "Install uv, which the setup needs",
  "Add the aws server to your Kiro MCP configuration in `.kiro/settings/mcp.json` with command `uvx` and args `mcp-proxy-for-aws-cli@latest`, `https://aws-mcp.us-east-1.api.aws/mcp`, `--metadata` and `AWS_REGION=us-west-2`",
  "Run `npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/skills` to install the skills to `~/.kiro/skills/` or `.kiro/skills/`",
  "Ask Kiro an AWS question and confirm it searches documentation or activates a skill"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Set up the AWS MCP Server for me following the Kiro section of aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws: add the aws entry to .kiro/settings/mcp.json using my preferred region <region>, then run `npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/skills` and tell me which skills landed in which folder.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "20 minutes",

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "A supported coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Devin, Kiro or fx",
  "uv installed for the Kiro, fx and other-agent setups",
  "An AWS account with credentials configured locally for API calls and script execution (not needed for documentation search or skill discovery)"
