About

AWS Knowledge is a fully managed remote MCP server from Amazon Web Services that answers questions about AWS from official sources: documentation, API references, What's New posts, Well-Architected guidance and blog content.

Tools:
- aws___search_documentation — searches across AWS documentation and guidance.
- aws___read_documentation — reads a documentation page as markdown.
- aws___list_regions — lists AWS regions with their identifiers.
- aws___get_regional_availability — checks whether a service, API or CloudFormation resource is available in a given region.
- aws___retrieve_skill — returns step-by-step procedures for common AWS tasks.

Typical use: "Is Amazon Bedrock available in eu-central-2, and how do I enable model access there?"

Who it is for: cloud engineers, architects and developers building on AWS.

Notes: free and does not require an AWS account; it reads public knowledge only and cannot touch your AWS resources. Rate limits apply.

Tools (5)

  • aws___get_regional_availability

    AWS resource availability per region. - Max 10 regions; multi-region needs `filters`; single-region supports `next_token`. - Status: isAvailableIn | isNotAvailableIn | isPlannedIn | Not Found. - Response key: products | service_apis | cfn_resources. Not for region counts/docs/vague queries -- use `search_documentation` / `list_regions`. Filter values must EXACTLY match AWS's catalog names; guessed, partial, or pluralized names are rejected ("values in filter parameter do not exist"). If unsure of the exact name, first call once for a single region with resource_type set and NO filters to list all valid names, then re-call filtering on the exact match.

  • aws___list_regions

    Retrieve a list of all AWS regions.

  • aws___read_documentation

    Fetch full AWS doc pages as markdown. `search_documentation` already returns verbatim page chunks, so don't re-read a URL whose chunk you already have to "confirm" or "round out" an answer -- the chunk is the real page text; treat it as authoritative. Reading the full page is justified ONLY when the chunks genuinely lack the content: - an enumeration or aggregation ("list all X", "how many X") needs the complete set and the chunks show only part of it; - no search result is on-topic after refining the query, and a known doc URL would have the answer. Otherwise, answer from the chunks. Use exact URLs from `search_documentation`; don't guess slugs. Input: `requests: [{url, max_length?, start_index?}]`. Batch 2-5. - `max_length` default 10000. - `start_index` default 0; use prior `end_index` to continue, TOC offset to jump. Allow-listed prefixes: docs.aws.amazon.com; aws.amazon.com (not /marketplace); repost.aws/knowledge-center; docs.amplify.aws; ui.docs.amplify.aws; github.com/{aws-cloudformation/aws-cloudformation-templates, aws-samples/{aws-cdk-examples, generative-ai-cdk-constructs-samples, serverless-patterns}, awsdocs/aws-cdk-guide, awslabs/aws-solutions-constructs, cdklabs/cdk-nag} (README on `main`); constructs.dev/packages/{@aws-cdk-containers, @aws-cdk, @cdk-cloudformation, aws-analytics-reference-architecture, aws-cdk-lib, cdk-amazon-chime-resources, cdk-aws-lambda-powertools-layer, cdk-ecr-deployment, cdk-lambda-powertools-python-layer, cdk-serverless-clamscan, cdk8s, cdk8s-plus-33}; strandsagents.com/latest/documentation/docs/; karpenter.sh/docs/; Amazon Braket: {amazon-braket-sdk-python, amazon-braket-schemas-python, amazon-braket-default-simulator-python, amazon-braket-pennylane-plugin-python, amazon-braket-algorithm-library, qiskit-braket-provider, autoqasm, qirtoqasm}.readthedocs.io and github.com/amazon-braket/* (blob/tree/raw). Output: SUCCESS -- markdown + `total_length, start_index, end_index, truncated, redirected_url?` (truncated includes TOC with char ranges). ERROR -- `error_code` in {not_found, invalid_url, throttled, downstream_error, validation_error}.

  • aws___retrieve_skill

    Retrieve an AWS skill (workflows, references). Returns SKILL.md, or `file` if given. Call `search_documentation` FIRST and copy `skill_name` verbatim -- it is an opaque registry ID. Never guess or fabricate `skill_name` or `file`.

  • aws___search_documentation

    AWS docs search. Each result's `context` is verbatim page text -- a real chunk of the actual page, not a short snippet -- and usually already contains the answer, so answer directly from it. Use `read_documentation` only when the chunks genuinely lack the needed detail. Pick ONE topic. Add a 2nd ONLY if query genuinely spans domains. Extra topics dilute ranking. - reference_documentation -- API/SDK/CLI specs, config params - current_awareness -- new/released/announced - troubleshooting -- errors, "how to fix" (NOT for conceptual/feature questions) - amplify_docs -- Amplify (+ language) - cdk_docs -- CDK concepts/guides - cdk_constructs -- CDK code samples, L3 - cloudformation -- CFN/SAM templates - strands_docs -- Strands Agents SDK (its Skills/agents concepts go here, NOT agent_skills) - agent_skills -- this tool's guided skills (load via `retrieve_skill`) - general (default) -- architecture, best practices, tutorials, feature behavior Results: rank_order (lower=better), url, title, context (verbatim page chunk -- answer directly from it).
