## Running locally with the Claude desktop app

### Installing via Smithery

To install AWS MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/mcp-server-aws):

```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install mcp-server-aws --client claude
```

### Manual Installation
1. Clone this repository.
2. Set up your AWS credentials via one of the two methods below. Note that this server requires an IAM user with RW permissions for your AWS account for S3 and DynamoDB.
- Environment variables: `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `AWS_REGION` (defaults to `us-east-1`)
- Default AWS credential chain (set up via AWS CLI with `aws configure`)
3. Add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json` file:
- On MacOS: `~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

```
"mcpServers": {
  "mcp-server-aws": {
    "command": "uv",
    "args": [
      "--directory",
      "/path/to/repo/mcp-server-aws",
      "run",
      "mcp-server-aws"
    ]
  }
}
```
4. Install and open the [Claude desktop app](https://claude.ai/download).
5. Try asking Claude to do a read/write operation of some sort to confirm the setup (e.g. create an S3 bucket and give it a random name). If there are issues, use the Debugging tools provided in the MCP documentation [here](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/debugging).
