概要
Timebound IAM operates as an MCP Server, strategically placed between your AI agent and AWS STS. Its core function is to issue short-lived, finely-scoped AWS credentials, allowing AI coding agents like Claude Code to interact with AWS resources without relying on risky long-lived keys. This tool significantly boosts security by ensuring that credentials are time-bounded (ranging from 15 minutes to 12 hours), precisely scoped to specific AWS services, and offer predefined access levels (read-only or full access). All issued credentials are automatically cleaned up upon expiry, minimizing potential vulnerabilities and adhering to the principle of least privilege.
