Prerequisites

AWS CLI & Credentials

1. Install the AWS CLI

2. Configure your credentials:

# If you don't have a profile yet, create one
aws configure --profile my-connect-profile

# You'll be prompted for:
# - AWS Access Key ID
# - AWS Secret Access Key  
# - Default region (e.g., us-east-1)
# - Output format (json)

3. Verify your setup:

# List available profiles
aws configure list-profiles

# Test connectivity
aws sts get-caller-identity --profile my-connect-profile

Your profile needs IAM permissions for Amazon Connect. See Amazon Connect required permissions.

Quick Start

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/mundurragacl/amazon-connect-mcp.git
cd amazon-connect-mcp

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

# Install
pip install -e .

Running the Server

# Local (stdio) - for Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.
fastmcp run src/amazon_connect_mcp/server.py

# Or as a module
python -m amazon_connect_mcp.server

Cursor

Install MCP Server

Or manually add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amazon-connect": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "amazon_connect_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "AWS_PROFILE": "your-profile"
      }
    }
  }
}

Kiro CLI

Add to .kiro/settings/mcp.json (workspace) or ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amazon-connect": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "amazon_connect_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "AWS_PROFILE": "your-profile"
      }
    }
  }
}

For macOS with virtual environment, use the full path approach:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amazon-connect": {
      "command": "sh",
      "args": ["-c", "cd /path/to/amazon-connect-mcp && source .venv/bin/activate && python -m amazon_connect_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "AWS_PROFILE": "your-profile"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

Recommended (macOS/Linux):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amazon-connect": {
      "command": "/path/to/amazon-connect-mcp/.venv/bin/amazon-connect-mcp",
      "env": {
        "AWS_PROFILE": "your-profile"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternative (if above doesn't work):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amazon-connect": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "amazon_connect_mcp.server"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/amazon-connect-mcp",
      "env": {
        "AWS_PROFILE": "your-profile"
      }
    }
  }
}
