Notes and caveats
- README: 'This MCP server is in general availability.' AWS now recommends switching to the AWS MCP Server, which includes the same knowledge tools, to avoid tool conflicts.
- README documents only Kiro CLI, fx and fastmcp proxy configs plus one-click Cursor and VS Code buttons, so no client snippets are listed.
