aws-api-mcp-server: Any movement on a remote MCP server?

[justin-masse]

Describe the feature

Right now we run our agent code in a lambda function backed by NodeJS (as well as local development using Node). Unfortunately implementing the aws-api-mcp-server requires a lot of work to get set up and may also require developers to change their workflows.

Would like a remote MCP server to connect with.

Use Case

Unable to use aws-api-mcp-server on a NodeJS lambda because I cannot install the appropriate python requirements. Would like to be able to use this in environments that are not just setup for python.

Proposed Solution

Allow connecting to remotely to the MCP server like github, atlassian, and others do.

Other Information

No response

Acknowledgements

• I may be able to implement this feature request
• This feature might incur a breaking change

Hey Justin, currently aws-api-mcp-server is intended for local, stdio operation only. Because it has access to the host file system, additional security measures would be necessary before we could support remote usage. We also explicitly mention this in our README:

...
Do Not Modify for Network Use: This server is designed for local STDIO use only; network operation introduces additional security risks
...

That said, we are considering a remote server solution. We want to ensure it meets our security and reliability standards before making it available. While we don’t have an exact timeline yet.

Oh yes, completely understood. Was mostly just curious if this is a feature coming soon to maintain parody with github and other companies who are offering remote MCP options.

We currently employ a several custom made AWS agents with access to in house tools for interacting with various AWS services and I'm hoping we can remove all of this custom stuff and use a better implemented AWS remote mcp server instead xD

Thanks for sharing the use case and the details — it really helps us prioritize this! We’ll keep you posted on any updates about the remote server.

Closing the issue for now :)
