How does the new serverless MCP Server work?
Developers have a choice of using any coding assistant via its MCP Client to use the new AWS Serverless MCP Server, and they can start by downloading the new Server from GitHub or Python Package Index (PyPi).
Once the Server is downloaded and installed, developers have to insert a piece of code into the MCP client configuration to configure which AWS profile that they own they want to use.
Post this step, they can start seeking guidance, designing, testing, deploying, and troubleshooting serverless applications by prompting their AI assistant, which, depending on what is being asked, seeks out tools in the new Server and presents information or completes tasks.
Examples of tools for application development and deployment include — sam_init_tool, sam_build_tool, sam_deploy_tool sam_local_invoke_tool, deployment_help_tool, and deploy_serverless_app_help_tool.
AWS suggests that enterprises, when building applications, should start by using its AI-assisted guidance feature for architectural decisions and also throughout the development process, use the guidance tool to make informed decisions as it follows best practices.
