How to add the AWS MCP Server and skills to Kiro with Agent Toolkit for AWS

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

Short answer: Install uv, which the setup needs; then 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/. All steps.

Credentials. API calls and script execution use your local AWS credentials, so point them at a limited profile.

Who it is forA Kiro user who wants real-time AWS documentation search and API access inside the agent.

The problemWithout a documentation source and API access the agent works from memory.

The outcomeKiro with the AWS MCP Server for runtime API access and documentation search, plus locally installed skills.

What you need first

  • 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)

Steps

  1. Install uv, which the setup needs
  2. 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
  3. Run npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/skills to install the skills to ~/.kiro/skills/ or .kiro/skills/
  4. Ask Kiro an AWS question and confirm it searches documentation or activates a skill

Prompt for your agent

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.

Caveat. The README says skills and the MCP server work independently: skills do not need the server, and the server does not serve locally installed skills.

Use this in your AI agent
