AWS DevOps Agent

AWS DevOps Agent Tools

Open-source skills, custom agents, MCP servers, and infrastructure templates that extend AWS DevOps Agent for incident response, root cause analysis, and operational reviews.

🔍 Skills

Structured instruction sets that teach the agent how to investigate incidents, perform operational reviews, and follow best practices for specific AWS services.

🤖 Custom Agents

Ready-to-use custom agent configurations that combine skills and tools into purpose-built workflows like scheduled health reports.

🔧 MCP Servers

Deployable MCP servers that give the agent custom tools for deep infrastructure diagnostics — node log collection, DNS resolution probing, database health checks, and more.


What's in This Repository?

This repository provides open-source tools that extend AWS DevOps Agent beyond its built-in capabilities:

  • Skills — Structured instruction sets that teach the agent how to investigate specific operational scenarios. Skills follow the open Agent Skills specification and the DevOps Agent skills guidance, and can be uploaded to your Agent Space.
  • Custom Agents — Pre-built agent configurations with system prompts and tool assignments for specific operational workflows (e.g., generating periodic health reports). Custom agents follow the AGENTS.md specification and the DevOps Agent custom agents guidance.
  • MCP Servers — Deployable Model Context Protocol servers that extend DevOps Agent with custom tools for infrastructure diagnostics, database health checks, and more. Each server is deployed to your AWS account and registered with your Agent Space.
  • CloudFormation Templates — Infrastructure-as-code for provisioning IAM permissions and resources that skills require.

What Can Skills Do?

Skills enable DevOps Agent to:

  • Specialize with investigation procedures, best practices, and organizational knowledge specific to your infrastructure
  • Automatically load relevant instructions during investigations, eliminating repetitive guidance
  • Compose multiple skills for end-to-end investigation workflows
  • Guide the agent in using your custom MCP server tools effectively for infrastructure-specific workflows

What Can Custom Agents Do?

Custom agents are user-defined AI agents that automate operational tasks specific to your infrastructure. You define a system prompt, assign tools and skills, and run them on demand or on a schedule. Common use cases include:

  • Operational reporting — Generate daily or weekly health summaries, deployment reports, or compliance audits across your infrastructure
  • Configuration auditing — Periodically check resource configurations against your organization's standards and produce findings
  • Trend analysis — Analyze metrics, error patterns, or cost trends over time and surface actionable insights
  • Multi-step workflows — Orchestrate sequences of tool calls across multiple integrations to complete complex operational procedures
  • Cross-tool correlation — Combine data from observability platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and AWS services to answer complex operational questions

What Can MCP Servers Do?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI applications to external systems. MCP servers give DevOps Agent the ability to interact with your infrastructure through custom tools. Use cases include:

  • Deep infrastructure diagnostics — Collect and analyze node-level logs, DNS resolution behavior, or database internals that aren't accessible through standard AWS APIs
  • Safe, scoped access — Each server enforces its own security model with IAM scoping, allowlists, and read-only constraints so the agent operates within well-defined boundaries
  • Standardized integration — Build once using the MCP specification and register with DevOps Agent via a secure endpoint — no custom client code needed
  • Composable with skills — Pair MCP servers with skills that guide the agent on when and how to use the tools effectively
