AWS CDK Development
This skill provides comprehensive guidance for developing AWS infrastructure using the Cloud Development Kit (CDK), with integrated MCP servers for accessing latest AWS knowledge and CDK utilities.
AWS Documentation Requirement
Always verify AWS facts using MCP tools (mcp__aws-mcp__* or mcp__*awsdocs*__*) before answering. The aws-mcp-setup dependency is auto-loaded — if MCP tools are unavailable, guide the user through that skill's setup flow.
CDK-Specific MCP Guidance
AWS Labs replaced the dedicated CDK MCP server (awslabs.cdk-mcp-server) with the broader awslabs.aws-iac-mcp-server, which covers CDK alongside CloudFormation and other AWS infrastructure-as-code workflows.
For CDK construct lookups, best-practice recommendations, and pattern guidance, install awslabs.aws-iac-mcp-server. It ships in the deploy-on-aws plugin from awslabs/agent-plugins, or can be registered directly with claude mcp add aws-iac uvx awslabs.aws-iac-mcp-server@latest.
When to reach for it:
- CDK construct recommendations and API lookups
- CDK and CloudFormation best-practice patterns
- Validation of synthesized templates
- Cross-resource configuration guidance
