How does this skill detect expired tokens?

It monitors MCP tool outputs for common AWS authentication errors such as 'ExpiredTokenException', 'Token has expired', or general SSO session failures.

Does this skill require a browser to work?

Yes, standard AWS SSO authentication requires an interactive browser login; this skill automates the initiation of that flow and monitors for completion.

What happens if I have multiple AWS accounts?

The skill uses the server parameter to find the specific AWS_PROFILE mapped to that specific tool in your local MCP settings to ensure the correct account is refreshed.

Which MCP clients are supported for configuration lookup?

It automatically scans configurations for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, and Amazon Q.

Can I manually specify an AWS profile?

Yes, you can provide either the MCP server name for automatic lookup or the specific AWS profile name directly to the refresh tool.

Cloud Infrastructure

Automates the AWS SSO authentication process when session tokens expire during MCP tool operations.

About

The AWS SSO Refresh skill ensures uninterrupted development by automatically detecting and resolving expired AWS SSO session errors within the Claude Code environment. It intelligently scans multiple MCP configuration files—including those for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code—to identify the correct AWS profile associated with a failing tool, initiates the browser-based login flow, and facilitates seamless retries once authentication is successful, eliminating manual CLI interruptions.

Key Features

Streamlined browser-based login flow initiation
Cross-platform support for Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code MCP settings
Automated retry logic for failed AWS tool operations post-refresh
Automatic detection of AWS SSO expiration and authentication errors
Intelligent profile lookup across multiple MCP client configurations
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Automating profile matching for Bedrock, S3, or Lambda MCP servers
Maintaining long-running development sessions across multiple AWS-linked MCP tools
Refreshing expired AWS sessions without leaving the Claude Code terminal interface
