AWS S3 Connector MCP Server

A production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AWS S3 operations.

Provides 4 practical tools for connecting to S3, listing objects, uploading files, and reading file contents — supporting public buckets (no credentials) and private buckets (AWS credentials).

Supports three transport modes: stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP.

Docker

# Build
docker build -t aws-s3-connector-mcp .

# Run (streamable-http, port 8000)
docker run -p 8000:8000 \
  -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your-key> \
  -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your-secret> \
  aws-s3-connector-mcp

MCP Client Configuration

See mcp.example.json for a ready-to-use client config snippet.

stdio (Claude Desktop / Cursor):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aws-s3-connector": {
      "command": "aws-s3-connector-mcp",
      "args": ["--mode", "stdio"],
      "env": {
        "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "AKIA...",
        "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "your-secret-key",
        "AWS_REGION": "ap-south-1",
        "S3_BUCKET": "customer-kyc-demo"
      }
    }
  }
}

With this env format, you can run connect_s3 with empty arguments:

{}

Streamable HTTP (MCP Inspector / MCPmon):

http://localhost:8000/mcp

For SSE in MCP Inspector, use:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/sse

Avoid 0.0.0.0 in the inspector URL.

Troubleshooting

NoCredentialsError — Pass credentials via connect_s3 or set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID / AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY env vars.

NoSuchBucket — Verify the bucket name and region in connect_s3.

connect_s3 not called — Always call connect_s3 before list_objects, upload_object, or read_object.

Port already in use — Change APP_PORT env var or use --port flag.
