DynamoDB Scanner

DynamoDB Scanner

⚠️ Important Notice

  • DynamoDB Scan operation scans the entire table, which can incur significant costs.
  • The maximum result size is limited to 1MB, so you may need to use pagination to retrieve all desired data.
  • This tool is recommended for testing purposes only.
  • For production, it is more efficient to implement Query operations tailored to your data access patterns.
  • Be aware of DynamoDB read capacity (RCU) consumption when scanning large datasets.

DynamoDB Scanner is a simple tool for scanning and filtering AWS DynamoDB tables. It is based on the FastMCP framework and provides an experience similar to the AWS Console for exploring and filtering DynamoDB table data.

Features

  • Scan DynamoDB tables (full or filtered)
  • View table schema information
  • Pagination support
  • User experience similar to AWS Console

Installation & Setup

Installing via Smithery

To install DynamoDB Scanner for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @katpyeon/mcp_dynamodb_scan --client claude

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp_dynamodb_scan.git cd mcp_dynamodb_scan

2. Set Up Virtual Environment

# Create virtual environment python -m venv venv # Activate virtual environment (Windows) venv\Scripts\activate # Activate virtual environment (macOS/Linux) source venv/bin/activate # Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Claude Profile Configuration

This project is designed to work with Claude. Set up your profile in the Claude Developer Console as follows:

"dynamodb-scanner": { "command": "/Users/yourname/path/mcp_dynamodb_scan/.venv/bin/python", "args": ["/Users/yourname/path/mcp_dynamodb_scan/app.py"], "env": { "DYNAMO_TABLE_NAME": "", "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "", "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "", "AWS_REGION": "" }, "port": 8080 }

Fill in the environment variables with appropriate values:

  • DYNAMO_TABLE_NAME: Name of the DynamoDB table to scan
  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: AWS Access Key ID
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: AWS Secret Access Key
  • AWS_REGION: AWS Region (e.g., ap-northeast-2)

Usage

To run the application:

python app.py

The FastMCP server will start, and you can use it with Claude to scan and filter DynamoDB tables.

Example Queries

You can ask Claude:

  1. "Show me the table schema."
  2. "Find items where the name is 'Hong Gil-dong'."
  3. "Show me all user information."
