What is Serverless Web MCP Server?

Serverless Web MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLM coding agents to deploy web applications to AWS serverless infrastructure. It supports deploying backend services (API Gateway, Lambda with Web Adapter, DynamoDB/Aurora Serverless), frontend applications (S3, CloudFront), and fullstack applications combining both components.

How to use Serverless Web MCP Server?

Install globally via npm install -g serverless-web-mcp-server or clone the repository. Prerequisites include Node.js 18 or higher, AWS SAM CLI, and configured AWS credentials. For use with Claude for Desktop, add the server to claude_desktop_config.json with the command serverless-web-mcp and restart Claude. The server supports command line options such as --debug, --templates, --transport (stdio or http), and --port.
