AWS News MCP Server

Enable your LLMs to access real-time AWS news, announcements, and blog posts through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

MCP Server Architecture

🎯 What is This?

This repository contains MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that allow AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible LLM to fetch and analyze AWS news, feature announcements, and blog posts in real-time. Instead of relying on outdated training data, your AI can now access the latest AWS updates directly.

Why Use This?

  • 🚀 Real-Time AWS Updates: Get the latest AWS announcements as they happen
  • 🤖 AI-Native Integration: Built specifically for LLM consumption via MCP
  • 🎯 Flexible Filtering: Search by service, date, content type, and regions
  • 📡 Multiple Data Sources: Access both AWS API and official RSS feeds
  • 🛠️ Developer-Friendly: Easy to integrate with any MCP-compatible client
  • ✅ Production Ready: Fully tested with comprehensive test suite

📦 What's Inside

This repository contains multiple MCP server implementations:

1. Streamable HTTP Server (Available Now)

A production-ready FastMCP server with HTTP transport that provides:

  • ✅ 2 Tools: get_aws_news and get_aws_feed_news
  • ✅ 10 Prompts: Pre-built templates for common queries
  • ✅ Health checks and monitoring
  • ✅ Docker support
  • ✅ Comprehensive test suite

📖

2) Studio Server (STDIO for local clients)

An STDIO-based server optimized for Claude Desktop and MCP Inspector with simple venv-aware launch patterns and wrapper script support.

📖 See details: studio/README.md

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • pip or uv package manager

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/aws-news-mcp.git
cd aws-news-mcp

# Navigate to the HTTP server
cd streamable-HTTP-server

# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the server
python main.py

FastMCP Server Running

Server will start on http://0.0.0.0:8000

Using with Docker

cd streamable-HTTP-server
docker build -t aws-news-mcp .
docker run -p 8000:8000 aws-news-mcp

🔧 Usage Examples

Once the server is running, you can connect your MCP-compatible LLM client to use the tools:

Example 1: Get Recent Lambda Updates

# Using the get_aws_news tool
{
  "topic": "lambda",
  "news_type": "all",
  "since_date": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z"
}

Example 2: Get Latest AWS Announcements from Feed

# Using the get_aws_feed_news tool
{
  "max_articles": 10,
  "search_keywords": "ec2"
}

Example 3: Using Prompts

Your LLM can use pre-built prompts for common queries:

  • "What's new with Lambda?" → Uses aws_recent_updates prompt
  • "Show me S3 blogs" → Uses aws_latest_blogs prompt
  • "Breaking AWS news" → Uses aws_breaking_news prompt

🏗️ Architecture

The MCP server architecture follows the Model Context Protocol specification:

┌─────────────────┐
│   LLM Client    │  (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.)
│  (MCP Client)   │
└────────┬────────┘
         │ MCP Protocol
         │
┌────────▼────────┐
│   AWS News MCP  │  (This Server)
│     Server      │
└────────┬────────┘
         │
    ┌────┴────┐
    │         │
┌───▼───┐ ┌──▼──────┐
│AWS API│ │AWS Feed │
└───────┘ └─────────┘

The server acts as a bridge between LLMs and AWS news sources, providing:

  1. Tools: Functions that LLMs can call to fetch data
  2. Prompts: Template queries that help LLMs understand what to ask
  3. Resources: Structured data returned in LLM-friendly formats

🔌 MCP Client Configuration
