Administrators can now control the Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers installed in Amazon Q Developer client applications directly within the AWS console. This provides organizations with the granular control needed to manage external resources safely and effectively.
With this launch an admin has the ability to enable or disable the MCP functionality for all the Q Developer clients in that organization. This means if an administrator disables the functionality, then users will not be allowed to add any MCP servers, nor will any previously defined servers be initialized. Q Developer checks and applies admin settings at the start of each session, and also every 24 hours while the client is running.
MCP admin control support for Amazon Q Developer applies to the Amazon Q Developer CLI, and all Amazon Q Developer plugins: VSCode, JetBrains, Visual Studio, and Eclipse. Check out the documentation to learn more.
