aws-serverless is a Claude Code plugin (also usable via Codex or Cursor per the README) that adds AWS serverless development skills to an AI coding agent. It supports designing, building, deploying, testing, and debugging serverless applications built on AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon EventBridge, and AWS Step Functions, along with Lambda durable functions and Lambda Managed Instances. It bundles several agent skills for these areas, an MCP server that provides serverless development guidance and infrastructure-as-code generation, and a hook that validates SAM templates after edits. According to the README, it is one plugin among several distributed in a broader Agent Plugins for AWS collection.
About the service
Per the AWS homepage source, AWS Serverless refers to a group of managed AWS compute and integration services — including AWS Lambda, AWS Fargate, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon EventBridge, AWS Step Functions, Amazon SQS, Amazon SNS, and AWS AppSync — that run and connect applications without requiring server provisioning or management. The plugin's MCP server, aws-serverless-mcp, connects the coding agent to guidance, project scaffolding, and deployment support for these AWS services.
What you can do with aws-serverless

- Use SAM or CDK deployment workflows via the aws-serverless-deployment skill
- Build resilient, long-running, multi-step applications with the aws-lambda-durable-functions skill
- Evaluate, configure, and migrate workloads to EC2-backed Lambda with the aws-lambda-managed-instances skill
- Have SAM templates automatically checked by a hook that runs sam validate after edits to template.yaml or template.yml
- Access serverless development guidance, project scaffolding, and IaC generation through the aws-serverless-mcp server
