Article Summary
AWS introduced IAM Policy Autopilot, an open-source reference implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
This tool is designed to simplify the creation of fine-grained, least-privilege IAM policies by analyzing AWS CloudTrail logs.
It exposes a `generate_policy` tool that AI agents can discover and invoke through the MCP server to automate policy generation.
The system provides a practical example of how AI assistants, such as Anthropic Claude, can leverage MCP servers to interact with external tools and automate cloud security tasks for builders.
