Introducing the AWS Infrastructure as Code MCP Server: AI-Powered CDK and CloudFormation Assistance

AWS has released the Infrastructure as Code MCP Server, a tool that connects AI assistants to AWS infrastructure development workflows. Built on the Model Context Protocol, it provides nine specialized tools for searching CDK and CloudFormation documentation, validating templates, checking security compliance, and troubleshooting deployments. The server runs locally using Python and uv, communicates via stdio, and requires minimal AWS permissions. It works with AI clients like Kiro CLI, Claude Desktop, and Cursor to provide intelligent assistance for writing and debugging infrastructure code while maintaining security through local execution.
