# Configure multiple accounts
accounts = {
    "production": AccountConfig(
        access_key_id="prod_key",
        secret_access_key="prod_secret",
        region="us-east-1"
    ),
    "development": AccountConfig(
        access_key_id="dev_key",
        secret_access_key="dev_secret",
        region="us-west-2"
    ),
    "staging": AccountConfig(
        role_arn="arn:aws:iam::987654321098:role/StagingRole",

    )
}

server = AWSMCPServer(accounts=accounts, default_account="production")

Cross-Region Operations

# Enable specific regions
regions = ["us-east-1", "us-west-2", "eu-west-1", "ap-southeast-1"]

server = AWSMCPServer(enabled_regions=regions)

Cost Optimization

from aws_mcp import AWSMCPServer, CostConfig

cost_config = CostConfig(
    track_costs=True,
    cost_alert_threshold=100.0,  # Alert if estimated cost > $100
    require_cost_approval=True,   # Require approval for expensive operations
    cost_allocation_tags=["Project", "Environment", "Owner"]
)

server = AWSMCPServer(cost_config=cost_config)

Integration Examples

See the examples/ directory for complete integration examples:

  • basic_usage.py - Common AWS operations
  • multi_account.py - Managing multiple AWS accounts
  • infrastructure_as_code.py - CloudFormation and CDK integration
  • cost_optimization.py - Cost tracking and optimization
  • security_scanning.py - Security and compliance checks
  • genai_integration.py - Integration with GenAI APIs

Security Best Practices

  1. Never commit credentials - Use environment variables or AWS credential files
  2. Use IAM roles when possible - More secure than access keys
  3. Enable MFA - For sensitive operations
  4. Implement least privilege - Grant minimal required permissions
  5. Enable CloudTrail - Audit all API operations
  6. Use VPC endpoints - For private connectivity
  7. Encrypt data - Use KMS for encryption keys

Error Handling

The server provides detailed error information:

try:
    result = server.execute_tool("aws_ec2_create_instance", {
        "ami_id": "invalid-ami"
    })
except AWSError as e:
    print(f"AWS error: {e.error_code} - {e.message}")
    print(f"Request ID: {e.request_id}")

Performance Optimization

  1. Use batch operations - For multiple similar requests
  2. Enable caching - For frequently accessed data
  3. Implement pagination - For large result sets
  4. Use regional endpoints - Reduce latency
  5. Connection pooling - Reuse HTTP connections
