AWS Direct Connect MCP Server Integration

AWS Direct Connect is a cloud service solution offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that enables organizations to establish a dedicated, private network connection between their on-premises infrastructure and the AWS global network. By bypassing the public internet, this service provides a more consistent, lower-latency, and higher-bandwidth network experience compared to traditional internet-based connections. The API serves as the programmatic control plane for this hybrid networking solution, allowing developers and network engineers to manage every facet of their Direct Connect implementation. Its core capabilities include the provisioning and management of physical connections, the creation and configuration of virtual interfaces (VIFs) to access specific AWS services or VPCs, the association of connections with Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) for increased throughput and redundancy, and the governance of Direct Connect Gateways for connecting multiple virtual private clouds (VPCs) across different AWS Regions. This API is essential for enterprises seeking to build secure, scalable, and predictable hybrid cloud architectures for use cases such as large-scale data migrations, real-time big data analytics pipelines, hybrid application deployments, and establishing a secure backbone for multi-account AWS environments.

Technical Integration & Multi-Client Support

The AWS Direct Connect MCP Integration translates REST paths, operational endpoints, and tool schemas into standardized Model Context Protocol JSON-RPC 2.0 messages. This allows AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, VS Code (Cline/Roo Code), and Zed Editor to run tool queries and execute functions seamlessly.

Claude Desktop

Add stdio configuration block to claude_desktop_config.json.

Cursor IDE

Configure workspace root at .cursor/mcp.json or Settings -> MCP.

VS Code / Cline

Insert server JSON payload into cline_mcp_settings.json.
