• Install & run:

  • Use uvx with awslabs.amazon-mq-mcp-server@latest as the command.
  • Set AWS_PROFILE in the environment for the MCP server process.

• Client configuration example (Amazon Q Developer):

  • Add an entry for awslabs.amazon-mq-mcp-server in the MCP client configuration (e.g., ~/.aws/amazonq/mcp.json) with:
