Sample Aws Devops Agent Claude Plugin

AWS DevOps Agent — Claude Plugin using the AWS MCP Server

⚠️ This repository is deprecated

This sample is no longer maintained. For connecting to AWS DevOps Agent going forward, use one of the official, supported paths instead:

• AWS DevOps Agent remote MCP server — Accessing AWS DevOps Agent / connecting to remote servers (official documentation)
• Claude plugin — AWS Agents for DevSecOps (official Claude plugin marketplace listing)
• Kiro power — AWS DevOps Agent (official Kiro power)

The content below is kept for historical reference only and will not receive further updates.

You are enhanced with the AWS DevOps Agent, an AI-powered operational intelligence system for AWS environments. You access it through the AWS MCP Server using aws___call_aws for standard API operations and aws___run_script for streaming APIs (like SendMessage).

Your superpower: You can combine your local workspace knowledge (files, git, skills, terminal) with the DevOps Agent's cloud knowledge (CloudWatch, X-Ray, IAM, topology) by packing local context into API call parameters. This makes you far more effective than either system alone.

What you get

The aws-devops-agent plugin gives Claude Code:

• The AWS MCP Server (aws___call_aws, aws___run_script, and more) for accessing the AWS DevOps Agent API — investigations, chat, recommendations, AgentSpaces, journal records.
• Four skills that auto-route the user's intent:
  • investigate — incident root cause (deep, 5–8 min, streamed progress)
  • chat — cost / architecture / topology / knowledge (instant)
  • multi-space — coordinate across multiple AgentSpaces in one session
  • setup — first-time configuration of profiles, spaces, and routing
• Four slash commands for explicit control: /aws-devops-agent:chat, /aws-devops-agent:investigate, /aws-devops-agent:spaces, /aws-devops-agent:cost.
• A worked multi-AgentSpace example at plugins/aws-devops-agent/examples/multi-space-walkthrough.md.

Install

Prerequisite: uv must be on PATH (the AWS MCP Server is fetched via uvx).

# Install uv if not already installed
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Verify the MCP proxy works (fetches on first run)
uvx mcp-proxy-for-aws@latest --help

Then in Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add aws-samples/sample-aws-devops-agent-claude-plugin
/plugin install aws-devops-agent@aws-devops-tools
/reload-plugins

Try it

# In your shell, before launching Claude Code:
export AWS_PROFILE=<your-aws-profile>
aws sso login   # or: aws configure

Then in Claude Code:

• aws___call_aws(cli_command="aws devops-agent list-agent-spaces --region us-east-1") — should return your spaces.
• "Investigate why my ECS service is returning 503s" — auto-invokes the investigate skill.
• "What runbooks does the agent have?" — auto-invokes chat.
• /aws-devops-agent:spaces — list your AgentSpaces explicitly.

Multiple AgentSpaces

If you have more than one AgentSpace (e.g. prod, staging, knowledge), say "set up the devops agent for multiple accounts" and the setup skill walks you through per-space AWS profiles, shell wrappers, and a routing guide. The worked walkthrough at plugins/aws-devops-agent/examples/multi-space-walkthrough.md shows the end-to-end pattern: prod investigation + staging comparison + knowledge-space runbook lookup, all from one Claude Code session.

Reducing approval fatigue (PreToolUse hooks)

During incident response the plugin can generate 6+ permission prompts per task. To auto-approve read-only AWS calls and chat streaming while still gating mutations, use the PreToolUse hooks in examples/hooks/:

1. Copy the hook scripts from the plugin into your project:

mkdir -p .claude/hooks
# After marketplace install, hooks are inside the plugin cache:
cp ~/.claude/plugins/cache/aws-devops-tools/aws-devops-agent/*/examples/hooks/aws-allow-reads.sh .claude/hooks/
cp ~/.claude/plugins/cache/aws-devops-tools/aws-devops-agent/*/examples/hooks/aws-allow-chat.sh  .claude/hooks/

2. Add to .claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "mcp__plugin_aws-devops-agent_aws-mcp__aws___call_aws",
        "hooks": [{"type": "command", "command": "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/hooks/aws-allow-reads.sh"}]
      },
      {
        "matcher": "mcp__plugin_aws-devops-agent_aws-mcp__aws___run_script",
        "hooks": [{"type": "command", "command": "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/hooks/aws-allow-chat.sh"}]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Note: The matcher prefix mcp__plugin_aws-devops-agent_aws-mcp__ is derived from the plugin name (aws-devops-agent) and the MCP server key in .mcp.json (aws-mcp). If the plugin is renamed, these matchers must be updated.

What gets auto-approved: list-*, describe-*, get-* CLI commands, and send_message streaming calls. What still prompts: create-backlog-task, create-agent-space, update-*, delete-*, and arbitrary run_script code.

Local development

Test the plugin without publishing:

git clone <this-repo> claude-aws-devops-agent
claude --plugin-dir ./claude-aws-devops-agent/plugins/aws-devops-agent

Or load the whole marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add ./claude-aws-devops-agent
/plugin install aws-devops-agent@aws-devops-tools

After editing skills or commands, run /reload-plugins to pick up changes.

Validate before pushing:

claude plugin validate ./claude-aws-devops-agent

Contributing

PRs welcome. Skills should keep their description frontmatter sharp — that's what the model uses to decide whether to auto-invoke. If you add a skill, also add a one-row entry to plugins/aws-devops-agent/README.md.
