AWS Data Processing MCP Server

Cloudstdio

Official AWS Labs MCP server for discovery and management across AWS Glue, EMR, EMR Serverless, Athena, S3, and supporting IAM roles. Read operations work by default; resource mutations require the explicit --allow-write flag, which is not included in this registry configuration.
