Description from the maker (original English)
MCP server for AWS IoT Core: device registry, shadows, jobs, rules, messaging.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AWS IoT Core — device registry, device shadows, jobs (fleet management), the rules engine, and messaging.
Scoped deliberately to IoT Core itself: no Greengrass (separate edge-deployment API), no IoT SiteWise (already has an official awslabs MCP server), no Device Defender/Events/TwinMaker — each of those is its own AWS service with its own API and would be its own connector.

| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_endpoint(endpoint_type) | Look up this account's IoT Core data endpoint (default iot:Data-ATS). |
Same as the rest of this repo: create_*/put_* default to overwrite=False (best-effort — the AWS IoT API itself has no conditional-write header for most of these operations, so this is a describe-then-create check, not fully race-free like Ditto's If-None-Match). Every delete_*/cancel_* requires confirm=True.
Standard AWS SDK credential resolution — no custom env vars for auth. Set whichever of these your setup uses:
| Env var | Description |
|---|---|
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID / AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY / AWS_SESSION_TOKEN | Explicit credentials. |
AWS_PROFILE | Named profile from ~/.aws/credentials. |
AWS_REGION / AWS_DEFAULT_REGION | Required — AWS IoT Core is regional. |
AWS_ENDPOINT_URL | Override the API endpoint (e.g. for LocalStack). boto3 reads this natively. |
Or an IAM role, if running somewhere with one attached (EC2/ECS/Lambda). See boto3's credential docs.
uv sync
export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
uv run awsiotcoremcpserver.py
See mcp.json for ready-to-use client configs (stdio and Docker).
This repo's design principles call for testing against a real instance rather than mocks. AWS IoT Core has no official local emulator, and LocalStack's IoT support requires a paid plan (no free tier) — so this server is the one exception in this repo: tests run against moto, a mature, free, open-source AWS API emulator (not hand-rolled mocks — it implements real request/response behavior for the actual boto3 calls this server makes).
uv run pytest -v
No bundled deployment artifacts here (unlike the other servers) since there's no local broker/service to run — AWS IoT Core only exists as an AWS-hosted service.
