AWS Advisor MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AWS service recommendations based on your use case descriptions.

Features

suggest_aws_service: Get AWS service recommendations by describing your use case

Setup

Install uv (if not already installed):

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Sync dependencies:

uv sync

This will create a virtual environment and install all dependencies.

Configuration for Cursor IDE

Navigate to the MCP section
Add a new server with this configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "aws-advisor": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/Users/antonioschaffert/workspace/tony/my-dev-mcp", "run", "python", "src/aws_advisor_server.py" ] } } }

Or add it to your MCP config file (usually ~/.cursor/mcp_config.json or similar):
