Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Amazon S3 Bucket MCP Server?
Grant your AI agent precise, scoped access to a single Amazon S3 bucket — no more, no less. Unlike full S3 access, this integration enforces the principle of least privilege: your agent can read, write, and manage objects exclusively within one pre-configured bucket.
What you can do
- Browse Objects — List and navigate files within the bucket using prefix and delimiter filters
- Read Data — Retrieve object contents or inspect metadata (headers, content type, size) without downloading
- Write Data — Upload string or JSON content as objects directly into the bucket
- Clean Up — Delete specific objects to maintain storage hygiene
- Audit Security — Inspect the bucket's access policy and ACL to ensure compliance
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your AWS Access Key, Secret Key, Region, and the target Bucket Name
- Your agent operates exclusively within that bucket — no access to other buckets or account-level operations
Why single-bucket?
AI agents should follow the principle of least privilege. Granting full S3 access to an autonomous agent creates unnecessary blast radius. This server confines the agent to a single bucket, which means:
- No accidental bucket creation or deletion
- No cross-bucket data exposure
- Clearer audit trail for compliance
- Safer agent-to-agent delegation
Who is this for?
- AI Engineers — give each agent a dedicated data workspace without exposing your entire cloud storage
- Data Teams — let agents process, query, and write results to a specific data lake partition
- Platform Engineers — enforce tenant isolation by assigning one bucket per agent or workflow
- Security-Conscious Teams — minimize attack surface by scoping storage access to exactly what's needed

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Amazon S3 Bucket as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 7 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Amazon S3 Bucket data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Amazon S3 Bucket tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Every tool call from Claude Code to the Amazon S3 Bucket MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the full Amazon S3 server?
The full Amazon S3 server gives the agent access to all buckets in your AWS account — it can list, create, and delete buckets. This server scopes the agent to a single, pre-configured bucket. The agent can only read, write, and manage objects within that bucket. This follows the principle of least privilege, which is critical for secure agent deployments.
How do I get my AWS Access Key and Secret Key?
Log in to the AWS Management Console, navigate to IAM (Identity and Access Management), and create a user with programmatic access. For this integration, we recommend a policy scoped to a single bucket (e.g., s3:GetObject, s3:PutObject, s3:DeleteObject, s3:ListBucket limited to your target bucket ARN).
Can I upload large files using this integration?
The put_object tool handles standard REST uploads and is best suited for small to medium-sized files or JSON data. For very large files, standard AWS tools utilizing Multipart Uploads are recommended.
Can my agent access multiple buckets?
Each instance of this server is scoped to exactly one bucket. If your agent needs access to multiple buckets, you can subscribe to this server multiple times — each with a different bucket configuration. This maintains strict isolation between data boundaries.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
