databases-on-aws is a Claude Code / Codex / Cursor plugin that packages AWS database expertise as an agent skill, helping developers design schemas, write and run queries, plan migrations, and pick an appropriate database type for a given workload. The plugin bundles an agent skill for Aurora DSQL, an MCP server for AWS documentation and best practices, an MCP server for direct Aurora DSQL operations (disabled by default), and a hook that prompts schema verification after transact operations. It is one of several plugins distributed from the awslabs agent-plugins repository, installable through the Claude Code plugin marketplace or via a manual Codex/Cursor setup. The README notes this plugin's status as only partially available, since only Aurora DSQL support is currently shipped.
About the service
The plugin connects an AI coding assistant to AWS's managed database services. Per the AWS homepage, AWS offers a broad portfolio of purpose-built databases (Aurora, RDS, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, MemoryDB, DocumentDB, Neptune, Keyspaces, Timestream) for different workload types, and per the README the plugin currently operates against Aurora DSQL, AWS's serverless PostgreSQL-compatible distributed SQL database, through a dedicated MCP server that performs live queries, schema changes, and transactions when enabled.
