AWS announces the Agent Plugin for AWS Serverless, enabling developers to easily build, deploy, troubleshoot, and manage serverless applications using AI coding assistants like Kiro, Claude Code, and Cursor.
Agent plugins extend AI coding assistants with structured, reusable capabilities by packaging skills, sub-agents, hooks, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers into a single modular unit. The Agent Plugin for AWS Serverless dynamically loads relevant guidance and expertise required throughout the development lifecycle for building production-ready serverless applications on AWS. You can create AWS Lambda functions that integrate with popular event sources like Amazon EventBridge, Amazon Kinesis, and AWS Step Functions, while following built-in best practices for observability, performance optimization, and troubleshooting. As you adopt Infrastructure as Code (IaC), you can streamline project setup with AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) and AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), with reusable constructs, proven architectural patterns, automated CI/CD pipelines, and local testing workflows. For long-running, stateful workflows, you can build with confidence using Lambda durable functions, which provides checkpoint-replay model, advanced orchestration patterns, and error handling capabilities. Lastly, you can design and manage APIs as part of your application using Amazon API Gateway, with guidance across REST APIs, HTTP APIs, and WebSocket APIs. These capabilities are packaged as agent skills in the open Agent Skills format, making them usable across compatible AI tools such as Kiro, Claude Code, and Cursor.
The Agent Plugin for AWS Serverless is available in any AI coding assistant tools that support agent plugins such as Claude Code and Cursor. In Claude Code, you can install it from the official Claude Marketplace using a simple command ‘/plugin install aws-serverless@claude-plugins-official’. You can also install agent skills from the plugin individually in any AI coding assistant tools that support agent skills. To learn more about the plugin and its capabilities, visit GitHub.
