Amazon Web Services MCP connector

Connect Amazon Web Services to Elaichi and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or the Elaichi Agent can list your AWS accounts, IAM users, roles, policies, Security Hub findings and GuardDuty detectors, each request running inside the connected access and logged.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

How to connect

How to connect Amazon Web Services to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

1

In Elaichi

Connect Amazon Web Services once

  1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Amazon Web Services.

  2. Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.

  3. Paste an Amazon Web Services API key. One person generates a token in Amazon Web Services and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it.

The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.

ElaichiTools
Tool Action Description
List all Amazon Web Services organizations accounts List Every account in the organization, in one global sweep — never fan out per region. Account.Paths materialises grouping_path at zero extra cost, so the recursive ListParents climb is only a fallback. Map state from Account.State, not Account.Status, which retires 2026-09-09 and has no CLOSED value. JoinedTimestamp is the org-join date, not the creation date. An empty page is not a terminator: loop until NextToken is null. A standalone account returns AWSOrganizationsNotInUseException (400).
List all Amazon Web Services organizations roots List The organization root. Exactly one call ever — the quota 'Roots in an organization: 1' is not adjustable, and the throttle is 1 req/s. Root has no Path field (only OUs do), so synthesize o-<orgId>/r-<rootId>/. No created_at exists on Root.
List all Amazon Web Services organizations ous List Organizational units under one parent, walked breadth-first. Nesting is capped at 5 levels and is not adjustable, so recursion is bounded and needs no cycle guard. Preferred over ListChildren because it returns {Arn, Id, Name, Path} inline and avoids a DescribeOrganizationalUnit per OU at a 2 req/s throttle. No created_at exists on OrganizationalUnit either.
List all Amazon Web Services organizations parents List The direct parent (an OU or the root) of one account or OU, given as child_id. Every account or OU has exactly one parent, so this always returns a single-element list -- chain calls (feeding the returned Id back in as the next child_id) to walk up to the root instead of expecting a full ancestor chain in one call. Requires the caller to already know a starting child_id (from organizations-accounts or organizations-ous); there is no reverse lookup by name.
List all Amazon Web Services organizations accounts for parent List Accounts directly under one root or OU, given as parent_id -- the org-tree-scoped counterpart to organizations-accounts (which lists every account in the org in one global sweep). Returns only direct children: accounts nested under a child OU of this parent are not included and need a separate call per child OU. Same Account shape as organizations-accounts, including the State vs deprecated Status distinction.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Amazon Web Services to Claude?

Two steps. In Elaichi, choose Amazon Web Services, paste the API key from your AWS account, and the connection is live, with no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp as the endpoint. Claude asks you to sign in to Elaichi, and from then on it can work with your Amazon Web Services accounts, IAM and Security Hub.

Does Amazon Web Services work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Amazon Web Services is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Amazon Web Services once and every client you use picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Amazon Web Services data?

With Amazon Web Services connected, an agent can list the accounts, roots and organizational units in your organization, read IAM users, roles, policies, access keys and MFA devices, generate and read a credential report, and pull Security Hub findings, enabled standards and controls along with GuardDuty detectors. That means questions like "which IAM users have no MFA device" or "show me this week's high severity findings" get answered from live records. Short, concrete asks work better than long sentences.

Does connecting Amazon Web Services give the AI access to every account and IAM permission?

No. The AI can only reach what the connected Amazon Web Services API key is allowed to reach, and each person still signs in to Elaichi as themselves. Elaichi can then narrow that access further, by team or by action, but it can never widen what the key itself is permitted to do in Amazon Web Services.

Can my team share one Amazon Web Services connection?

Yes. One person connects Amazon Web Services in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else on that team ever sees or handles the API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log records who asked for the IAM users or the Security Hub findings, not just that someone did.

Can I stop an agent from changing things in Amazon Web Services?

Yes. This Amazon Web Services connector is almost entirely read-only, and the one action that creates something, generating a credential report, can be restricted on its own. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to an Amazon Web Services connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Amazon Web Services through every client at once. If they connected a shared Amazon Web Services account, that connection keeps working for everyone it was shared with. Disconnecting Amazon Web Services once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.

Does the Amazon Web Services MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Amazon Web Services is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.

Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for Amazon Web Services?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Amazon Web Services. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every Amazon Web Services call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Amazon Web Services?

Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to Amazon Web Services: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
