AWS Advisor MCP Server

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/aws_advisor_server.py:181-194 (handler)

  Handler function for the 'list_aws_categories' tool. It generates a markdown-formatted list of all AWS service categories, the number of services in each, and lists the service names. Uses the AWS_SERVICES dictionary.
  elif name == "list_aws_categories": response_lines = ["## AWS Service Categories\n"] for category, services in AWS_SERVICES.items(): service_count = len(services) response_lines.append(f"\n### {category.upper().replace('_', ' ')} ({service_count} services)") response_lines.append(f"Services: {', '.join(services.keys())}") response_lines.append("\n\n**Tip**: Use the 'suggest_aws_service' tool with a use case description to get specific recommendations!") return [TextContent( type="text", text="\n".join(response_lines) )]
• src/aws_advisor_server.py:136-143 (registration)

  Registration of the 'list_aws_categories' tool within the @server.list_tools() handler. Includes the tool name, description, and input schema (no required parameters).
  Tool( name="list_aws_categories", description="List all available AWS service categories (compute, storage, database, etc.) to help you explore services by type.", inputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": {} } )
• src/aws_advisor_server.py:139-142 (schema)

  Input schema for the 'list_aws_categories' tool: an empty object (no input parameters required).
  inputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": {} }
• src/aws_advisor_server.py:16-84 (helper)

  Global AWS_SERVICES dictionary categorizing AWS services with descriptions. Directly used by the 'list_aws_categories' handler to generate the list of categories and services.
