"MCP is a standardized protocol that lets AI models securely connect to external data sources and tools. Think of it as a translator between AI models and your infrastructure. Without MCP, you'd need to: Manually format data for AI models Handle authentication and security yourself Build custom integrations for each service Manage complex API interactions With MCP, you get: A standardized way for AI to access your data Built-in security and authentication Real-time data access without exposing credentials Contextual responses based on live infrastructure data"
"AWS exposes many services and APIs. MCP provides a clean bridge so AI models can: Query EC2 instances in natural language Analyze S3 bucket configurations Review CloudWatch alarms and metrics Provide recommendations based on real-time data Switch between multiple AWS accounts seamlessly The key benefit: AI models get structured, real-time data instead of generic responses, enabling more accurate and actionable insights"
Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a standardized, secure protocol for AI models to access external data sources and tools, replacing custom integrations and manual data formatting. MCP handles authentication, real-time data access, and contextual responses without exposing credentials. On AWS, MCP enables natural-language queries of EC2, S3 analysis, CloudWatch metric review, recommendations from live data, and multi-account switching. CloudWhisper implements MCP with a three-layer architecture: an AI MCP client (ChatGPT/Claude), a middle layer that translates MCP requests to AWS APIs, and backend connectors to services. The CloudWhisper implementation is available at https://github.com/MohammadJomaa/cloudwhisper.
