Level ALocal

An AWS Labs Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for amazon-kendra-index-mcp-server

Overview

An AWS Labs MCP server that lets MCP-enabled chatbots and coding assistants such as Kiro, Cline, Cursor, and Windsurf use Amazon Kendra indexes as additional RAG context. It provides KendraQueryTool to query an index for extra context, with optional indexId and region, and KendraListIndexesTool to list indexes in your account. The server can query and list indexes but cannot create, modify, or delete resources.
