How to use Agent Toolkit for AWS: what you can do with it

What is Agent Toolkit for AWS? Agent Toolkit for AWS is the official, AWS-supported set of MCP servers, skills and plugins that help AI coding agents build, deploy and manage applications on AWS. It works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Devin, Kiro and fx, and bundles the AWS MCP Server configuration with agent skills into plugins such as aws-core.

How do I use it? In Claude Code run /plugin install aws-core@claude-plugins-official; then if you get Plugin not found, run /plugin marketplace update claude-plugins-official first and try again; Optionally add /plugin install aws-agents@claude-plugins-official for Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore agents, or /plugin install aws-data-analytics@claude-plugins-official for S3 Tables, AWS Glue and Athena. Full steps below.

3 use cases

  • Give Claude Code the official AWS skills

    Install the aws-core plugin so your agent knows service selection, CDK and CloudFormation, serverless and deployment.

    View prompt
    Install the aws-core plugin with `/plugin install aws-core@claude-plugins-official`, then use it to recommend the smallest AWS architecture for <app>. List which services you chose, why, and what it would cost me, before you create anything.

  • Add the AWS MCP Server and skills to Kiro

    Configure the AWS MCP Server and install the toolkit's skills so Kiro can search docs and call AWS APIs.

    View 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.

  • Use the toolkit from the AWS CLI or Codex

    Run the toolkit straight from the AWS CLI, or add the repo as a Codex plugin marketplace.

    View prompt
    Following aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws, run `codex plugin marketplace add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws`, then tell me how to install aws-core from /plugins. Do not change any AWS resources.

Quick start with Agent Toolkit for AWS

  1. Check you have what it needs: 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).
  2. Open aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. In Claude Code run /plugin install aws-core@claude-plugins-official
  4. If you get Plugin not found, run /plugin marketplace update claude-plugins-official first and try again
  5. Optionally add /plugin install aws-agents@claude-plugins-official for Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore agents, or /plugin install aws-data-analytics@claude-plugins-official for S3 Tables, AWS Glue and Athena
  6. Ask Claude Code to plan your AWS architecture and watch it use the toolkit's skills

These steps come from our top use case, Give Claude Code the official AWS skills, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
