Summary

Agent Plugins for AWS equip AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor) with skills for architecting, deploying, and operating on AWS. This project addresses AI steering challenges by encoding AWS best practices and services as reusable, versioned capabilities. Developers gain improved determinism, reduced prompt overhead, and standardized AI-assisted AWS workflows for enhanced efficiency.

How It Works

Plugins package expertise artifacts: structured "Agent skills" for task guidance, "MCP servers" for live AWS data access (pricing, docs), and "Hooks" for automated validation. This modular approach allows agents to access specific AWS knowledge and execute workflows contextually, improving predictability over large, static prompts.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation:
  • Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add awslabs/agent-plugins
  • Cursor: Install via Marketplace or Settings -> Plugins -> Search for AWS.
• Prerequisites: Claude Code >= 2.1.29 or Cursor >= 2.5; AWS CLI configured with credentials.
• Links: Introducing Agent Plugins for AWS Blog, MCP Servers for AWS, Claude Code plugins documentation, Cursor plugins documentation.

Highlighted Details

• deploy-on-aws: Accelerates AWS deployment with architecture recommendations, cost estimates, and IaC (CDK/CloudFormation) generation.
• amazon-location-service: Integrates maps, geocoding, routing, and geospatial features using Amazon Location Service.
• migration-to-aws: Facilitates systematic GCP to AWS migration, covering resource discovery, architecture mapping, cost analysis, and execution planning.
• aws-amplify: Enables full-stack app development with AWS Amplify Gen 2 via TypeScript code-first workflows.
• aws-serverless: Supports building serverless apps with Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge, Step Functions, and durable functions, including SAM/CDK integration.

Limitations & Caveats

Users must review all AI-generated output and costs due to potential errors. Plugins should augment, not replace, developer judgment. Security scanning for generated infrastructure code is advised.
