  https://github.com/awslabs/mcp (AWS Labs, first-party) and
  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-mcp/latest/userguide/what-is-mcp-server.html — both hosted tool lists
  read live by anonymous JSON-RPC tools/list on 2026-09-17 (HTTP 200) and saved verbatim alongside this
  file.
provider: Amazon Lightsail
providerId: amazon-lightsail
note: >-
  AWS ships NO Amazon Lightsail-specific MCP server. There is no create_instance tool, no
  get_instances tool, and no Lightsail tool namespace anywhere in the awslabs/mcp catalog — a grep of
  the repository README, which indexes every server AWS Labs publishes, returns nothing for
  "lightsail". Lightsail is reachable through AWS's two general-purpose first-party servers, which
  expose AWS APIs GENERICALLY — a sandboxed script/boto3 executor and a documentation reader — so an
  agent drives Lightsail the way it would drive any AWS service, by naming the boto3 client
  "lightsail" inside aws___run_script or by shelling `aws lightsail ...`. That distinction is the
  finding: the servers are real, first-party and answered tools/list anonymously, but Lightsail's 162
  operations have no per-operation tool surface of their own. Recorded as published on the strength of
  the servers, not on the strength of Lightsail's own agent affordances.
deployment:
  mode: both
  endpoint: https://aws-mcp.us-east-1.api.aws/mcp
  install: uvx awslabs.aws-api-mcp-server@latest
  package: https://pypi.org/project/awslabs.aws-api-mcp-server/
  auth: api-key
  verified: probed
  note: >-
    `auth: api-key` means AWS SigV4 / IAM credentials. tools/list answered anonymously (HTTP 200, real
    inputSchemas, saved verbatim) but every tool CALL executes against the caller's own AWS credentials
    under IAM permissions with CloudTrail logging. The remote endpoint is normally reached through a
    local signing proxy, which performs the SigV4 signing; a bare MCP client POSTing to the URL can list
    tools but cannot execute a Lightsail operation.

    Via aws___run_script, which executes Python in a sandbox with AWS API access through call_boto3 —
    Lightsail's 162 operations are invoked as boto3 "lightsail" calls, not as named MCP tools.

  binding_note: >-
    Lightsail has its own object storage (buckets) with its own access-key operations
    (CreateBucketAccessKey, GetBucketAccessKeys); this tool is the generic Amazon S3 equivalent and is
    not wired to Lightsail buckets.

  server: AWS MCP Server, AWS Knowledge MCP Server
  amazon_lightsail_binding: adjacent
  binding_note: >-
    Lightsail answers the same question first-party through GetRegions; the MCP tool reports AWS-wide
    regional availability, not Lightsail bundle availability.
