AI Cloud Management: Integrating the AWS Python SDK with Anthropic's MCP
summary
Concrete demo that hooks Claude Desktop via Anthropic MCP to a local Python MCP server using fastmcp and the boto3 SDK wrapper. Code shows a decorator that exposes existing Python functions and a generic SDK wrapper the LLM uses to construct S3, EC2 and IAM calls; the demo lists S3 buckets, returns EC2 instances for Frankfurt, and generates a security checklist live. It works end to end but raises practical risks: MCP has no built‑in auth, long‑lived tokens and prompt injection are real threats and session/MTLS and short lived credentials are recommended mitigations.
