aws-agents is a Claude plugin that provides eight guided skills for building, connecting, deploying, debugging, evaluating, and hardening AI agents that run on AWS, primarily targeting Amazon Bedrock AgentCore as the execution runtime. Each skill maps to a stage of the agent lifecycle, from initial scaffolding through production readiness, and loads detailed reference material only when needed to keep context usage efficient. It also includes an MCP server that exposes AWS documentation and architecture guidance directly inside the assistant. A separate skill addresses agent-initiated payments, including handling paywalled APIs and enforcing spend limits. The plugin is installed through the Claude Code plugin marketplace and requires an AgentCore CLI, AWS CLI, Node.js, and Python toolchain to operate.
About the service
This plugin is built around Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, AWS's managed runtime for building and operating AI agents, and it relies on AWS CLI credentials plus an AWS documentation MCP server to interact with the broader AWS cloud platform.
