Simplify IAM policy creation with IAM Policy Autopilot, a new open source MCP server for builders

Today, we’re announcing IAM Policy Autopilot, a new open source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that analyzes your application code and helps your AI coding assistants generate AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) identity-based policies. IAM Policy Autopilot accelerates initial development by providing builders with a starting point that they can review and further refine. It integrates with AI coding assistants such as Kiro, Claude Code, Cursor, and Cline, and it provides them with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) knowledge and understanding of the latest AWS services and features. IAM Policy Autopilot is available at no additional cost, runs locally, and you can get started by visiting our GitHub repository.
