Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

      proc = spawn(command, [...prefixArgs, "--version"], {
…orary credentials as a named profile in the shared credentials file ($AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE when set, otherwise ~/.aws/credentials; the resolved path is returned as credentialsPath). Subsequent calls to aws_call / aws_whoami / aws_paginate can use profile='mcp-<sessionName>…

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add aws-mcp -- npx -y @yawlabs/aws-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aws-mcp": {

      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@yawlabs/aws-mcp"
      ]
    }

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: AWS_PROFILE (AWS profile used when a tool call omits `profile`. Any profile your aws CLI can use (SSO, credential_process, role chaining, static keys). Unset: AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE, then `default`), AWS_REGION (Region used when a tool call omits `region`. Unset: AWS_DEFAULT_REGION, then us-east-1 (a profile's own region setting is not read)).

Yaw Labs AWS MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Yaw Labs AWS MCP?
Yaw Labs AWS MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @yawlabs/aws-mcp was installed 452 times last week.
How do I connect Yaw Labs AWS MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @yawlabs/aws-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Yaw Labs AWS MCP?
The npm package @yawlabs/aws-mcp was installed 452 times in the last week. Week over week that is +343%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Yaw Labs AWS MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 5 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
