AWS Directory Service MCP Server Integration

AWS Directory Service, operated by Amazon Web Services, is a fully managed solution designed to simplify the deployment, management, and scaling of directory services in the cloud or hybrid environments. At its core, it enables enterprises to establish managed Microsoft Active Directory (AWS Managed Microsoft AD) or synchronize with existing on-premises AD, and also provides a managed Simple Directory Service for basic use cases. The API serves as the programmatic backbone for this service, offering a comprehensive suite of operations for directory lifecycle management, including creation, configuration, network integration, and security administration. Typical enterprise use cases include centralizing identity management for Amazon EC2 instances, enabling single sign-on (SSO) for AWS applications, managing trust relationships with corporate directories for federated access, and providing scalable authentication and authorization for workloads running on AWS. It is a foundational component for implementing zero-trust architectures and hybrid cloud identity strategies.

Technical Integration & Multi-Client Support

The AWS Directory Service 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.
