AWS ECS MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for monitoring and analyzing AWS ECS (Elastic Container Service) metrics and services.

Features

• ECS Service Monitoring: Check service status, health, and deployment information

• CloudWatch Metrics: Get CPU, memory, and custom metrics for ECS services

• Load Balancer Integration: Monitor target group health and response times

• IAM Role Support: Works seamlessly with EC2 instance roles and ECS task roles

• Intelligent Name Matching: Uses AI to find the correct cluster and service names

On EC2 with IAM Role (Recommended)

ecs-mcp --openai-api-key "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY" --region "YOUR_AWS_REGION"

With Explicit AWS Credentials

ecs-mcp --openai-api-key "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY" --access-key "YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY" --secret-access-key "YOUR_AWS_SECRET_KEY" --region "YOUR_AWS_REGION"

Available Tools

The server provides the following tools for AWS ECS analysis:

1. check_ecs_service_status: Get comprehensive service status including:

   • Running vs desired task count

   • Deployment status

   • Container images

   • Target group health

   • Unhealthy tasks

2. get_service_metrics: Get CloudWatch metrics for ECS services:

   • CPU utilization

   • Memory utilization

   • Custom metrics

3. get_ecs_target_group_response_time: Monitor load balancer response times

4. get_ecs_target_group_request_metrics: Get request count and error metrics

5. get_ecs_services: List all services in a cluster
