    Two distinct surfaces, deliberately recorded separately below. The REMOTE endpoint is the AWS
    MCP Server — Amazon-operated, account-wide, GA since 2026-05-06, and the door through which an
    agent actually reaches Amazon Nova today (via the AWS CLI / boto3 tools). It answered an
    anonymous tools/list with HTTP 200 and 9 real tools on 2026-09-01, and it publishes RFC 9728
    protected-resource metadata pointing at https://us-east-1.oauth.signin.aws for the
    authenticated calls. The LOCAL-STDIO package is the only Nova-branded MCP distribution AWS ever
    shipped, awslabs.nova-canvas-mcp-server, and it is deprecated.

    Not Nova-specific. It exposes the AWS control plane and documentation to a coding agent, and an
    agent reaches Nova through it by running `aws bedrock-runtime invoke-model` / `converse` inside
    the call_aws / run_script tools, or by loading an AWS skill via retrieve_skill.

    Deprecation is stated by AWS in the package's own description, which redirects users to
    bedrock-image-mcp-server. The src/nova-canvas-mcp-server directory has been removed from
    awslabs/mcp (GitHub contents API returns 404 as of 2026-09-01).
