AWS Knowledge MCP Server now supports topic-based search

Posted on: Nov 26, 2025

Today, AWS announces enhanced search capabilities for the AWS Knowledge MCP Server, which now supports topic-based search across specialized AWS documentation domains. The AWS Knowledge MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI agents and developers with programmatic access to AWS documentation and knowledge resources. This enhancement enables more precise and relevant search results by allowing MCP clients and agentic frameworks to query specific documentation domains such as Troubleshooting, AWS Amplify, AWS CDK, CDK Constructs, and AWS CloudFormation, reducing noise and improving response accuracy for domain-specific queries.

These topic-based searches complement existing capabilities for searching API references, What's New announcements, and general AWS documentation. Developers building AI agents can now retrieve targeted information for specific use cases—for example, searching Troubleshooting documentation for error resolution, Amplify documentation for frontend development guidance, or CDK Constructs for production-ready architectural patterns. This focused approach accelerates development workflows and improves the quality of AI-generated responses for AWS-specific queries.

The enhanced search capabilities are available immediately at no additional cost through the AWS Knowledge MCP Server. Usage remains subject to standard rate limits. To learn more and get started, see the AWS Knowledge MCP Server documentation.
