Amazon MSK announces a multi-context protocol (MCP) based server that allows customers to interact with their Amazon MSK clusters using a standardized natural language interface and agentic applications. Amazon MSK’s MCP server uses Anthropic’s open-source multi-context protocol that standardizes how AI-assisted agents interact with external systems, such as databases, knowledge sources, and other microservices. The server provides AI agents with aggregate views of cluster metrics, configuration states, and operational context, delivering built-in understanding of cluster quotas, capacity limits, best practice guidelines, and contextual recommendations based on workload characteristics. This approach enables agents to make informed decisions about cluster modifications with full awareness of constraints and dependencies. Additionally, each interaction is governed by the customer-defined security policies, which limits access to only those agents who have explicit permissions to the APIs required to achieve the desired objective.
To download and try out the open-source MCP servers for these services locally with your AI-enabled IDE of choice, visit the aws-labs GitHub repository.
