Article Summary
The article provides a guide on building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers on AWS using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK).
- It details an architecture for MCP servers, utilizing AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and SQS, to enable AI assistants like Anthropic's Claude to access external tools.
- A practical example demonstrates creating an MCP server for a fictional Weather Service, illustrating Claude's interaction with the server via MCP for real-time data.
- The approach highlights MCP's role in standardizing tool descriptions and execution, making external capabilities easily consumable by AI models.
- The implemented solution supports controlled tool orchestration, allowing AI models to securely execute external functions and services.
