What is the Amazon DynamoDB Table MCP Server?
This server strips away dangerous global AWS permissions. It gives your AI agent one surgical superpower: the ability to query, insert, and update items inside one specific DynamoDB Table.
By strictly scoping access, your AI can safely manage structured data, store chat histories, and process complex NoSQL queries without ever touching your critical cloud databases.
The Superpowers
- Absolute Containment: The agent is locked to a single table. It cannot list other tables or drop your production data.
- Native DynamoDB Integration: Direct interactions with DynamoDB, supporting complex queries and indexes.
- Plug & Play Database: Instantly gives your agent a scalable NoSQL database to store structured memories and application state.
Built-in capabilities (5)
Delete an item from the DynamoDB table
Get an item from the DynamoDB table
Put an item into the DynamoDB table
Query the DynamoDB table
Scan the DynamoDB table
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Amazon DynamoDB Table into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Amazon DynamoDB Table and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 5 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Why limit the agent to a single table?
To enforce the principle of least privilege and zero-trust architecture. An autonomous agent shouldn't have the power to alter global cloud databases, which prevents accidental corruption of critical systems.
Can my agent access multiple tables?
Each instance of this server is scoped to exactly one table. If your agent needs access to multiple tables, you can subscribe to this server multiple times — each with a different table configuration. This maintains strict isolation.
Can I query using secondary indexes (GSI)?
Yes, you can specify the 'IndexName' inside your expression parameters when using the query tool, allowing the agent to perform efficient lookups on Global Secondary Indexes.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
