@shieldly/mcp
AI-Powered Security Analysis for AWS — official MCP server.
Gives any MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) two tools to analyze AWS IAM policies and CloudFormation templates for security risks — privilege escalation paths, wildcards, and other over-permissive access. Powered by Shieldly.
Setup
Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json,
or Claude Code's .mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"shieldly": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@shieldly/mcp"]
}
}
}
Try it free — no account needed
Both tools run in demo mode without an API key (rate-limited, no signup). For
higher limits, set SHIELDLY_API_KEY:
{
"mcpServers": {
"shieldly": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@shieldly/mcp"],
"env": { "SHIELDLY_API_KEY": "sk_live_..." }
}
}
}
