 AWS公式ドキュメント以外の情報を見てほしいこんにちは、のんピ(@non____97)です。
皆さんはAIエージェントにAWS公式ドキュメント以外の情報を見てほしいなと思ったことはありますか? 私はあります。
AWS Documentation MCP Serverを使うことによって、AWS公式ドキュメントをベースとした、より精度の高いやり取りを行うことが可能になります。
しかし、What's NewやAWS Blogといった情報も参照して欲しいことがあります。特にAWS Blogは現場に近いノウハウが詰まった宝庫です。事例も多くあり、是非ともAIに参照させたいです。
今回、プレビューですがAWS Knowledge MCP Serverが公開されました。
https://aws.amazon.com/jp/about-aws/whats-new/2025/07/aws-knowledge-mcp-server-available-preview/
これにより、What's NewやAWS Blogといった、AWS公式ドキュメント以外の信頼できる情報ソースを横断的に検索、取得できるようになりました。
AWS Knowledge MCP Serverの情報はGitHubにも公開されています。
https://github.com/awslabs/mcp/tree/main/src/aws-knowledge-mcp-server
実際に触ってみたので紹介します。
 ツール2025/7/18時点ツールは以下です。
search_documentation: 全てのAWSドキュメントの横断検索
read_documentation: AWSドキュメントの取得 and マークダウンへの変換
recommend: AWSドキュメントの推奨事項の取得
AWS Documentation MCP Serverとほぼ同じですね。差異は使用可能なサービスリストを返すかツール(get_available_services)があるか否か程度です。ドキュメント検索に必要そうなツールは一通りある印象です。
 参照するソース2025/7/18時点で参照するソースは以下です。
The latest AWS docs
API references
What's New posts
Getting Started information
Builder Center
Blog posts
Architectural references
Well-Architected guidance
抜粋 : mcp/src/aws-knowledge-mcp-server at main · awslabs/mcp
AWS公式ドキュメントはもちろん、What's NewやAWS Blog、AWS リファレンスアーキテクチャといった情報も参照してくれるのは非常に嬉しいですね。
AWSの仕様の調査だけではなく、サンプルアーキテクチャや事例を探してきて自身のワークロードに対して提案もしてくれそうです。
AWSに関する情報収集の決定版で、GAしたら「とりあえずAWS Knowledge MCP Serverを追加する」といった具合になりそうです。
個人的にはre:Postも追加してくれると嬉しいなと感じています。
 注意点AWS Knowledge MCP ServerはリモートMCPサーバーということもあり、レートリミットが発生します。
閾値については言及されていないですが、ハードな使い方をする場合は注意しましょう。
ちなみに、私は十数回ほどやり取りしましたがレートリミットには当たりませんでした。
レートリミットに到達したら、AWS Documentation MCP Serverを使っていく形になる気がしています。
 やってみた実際に試してみます。
私はClaude Codeユーザーなので、Claude CodeにMCPサーバーを追加します。
>  claude mcp add \
    awslabs.aws-knowledge-mcp-server \
    -s user \
    -- npx mcp-remote https://knowledge-mcp.global.api.aws

awslabs.aws-knowledge-mcp-server: npx mcp-remote https://knowledge-mcp.global.api.aws

>  claude mcp get awslabs.aws-knowledge-mcp-server
awslabs.aws-knowledge-mcp-server:
  Scope: User (available in all your projects)
  Type: stdio
  Command: npx
  Args: mcp-remote https://knowledge-mcp.global.api.aws
  Environment:

To remove this server, run: claude mcp remove "awslabs.aws-knowledge-mcp-server" -s user
Claude Codeのセッション内でMCPサーバーのステータスを確認します。

    strict service level requirements. You may have seen how it’s possible to leverage the immense horizontal
    storage scalability of [Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)](https://aws.amazon.com/ebs/
    \"https://aws.amazon.com/ebs/\") into concentrated vertically scaled storage performance in my recent blog
    [“SAN in the Cloud: Millions of IOPs and tens of GB/s to any Amazon EC2 instance.”](https://aws.amazon.com/blo

    2-instance/\")\n\nBy leveraging [iSCSI block
    support](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/ONTAPGuide/create-iscsi-lun.html
    \"https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/ONTAPGuide/create-iscsi-lun.html\") on [Amazon FSx for NetApp
    ONTAP](https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/netapp-ontap/ \"https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/netapp-ontap/\"), there is an
    additional method to scale SAN (Storage Area Network) block storage to millions of IOPs and gigabytes per
    second to AWS instances. FSx for NetApp ONTAP is a storage service that allows customers to launch and run
    fully managed ONTAP file systems in the cloud. With FSx for NetApp ONTAP, AWS customers benefit from a block
    service that supports Multiple Availability Zones (Multi-AZs), small computer systems interface (SCSI) locks,
    near instantly available snapshots, cross-region replication, thin provisioning, deduplication, compression,
    compaction, and tiering from solid-state drive (SSD) to an elastic capacity tier.\n\nA single FSx for NetApp
    ONTAP File System is currently capable of (depending on workload caching) of a few hundred thousand IOPs, and
    up to 2 GB/s. But, we don’t have to stop there. In this post, I cover aggregating block performance to 5, 10,
    or even 20 times that of a single FSx for NetApp ONTAP to a single client instance using standard operating
    systems, while still maintaining the ability to support consistent snapshots. With FSx for NetApp ONTAP, you
    can elastically and non-disruptively scale both capacity and performance enabling a true pay-as-you-go
    model.\n\n## Solution overview\n\nFSx for NetApp ONTAP supports two deployment options that you can deploy in
    a Region: Single-AZ and Multi-AZ. Single-AZ file systems are built for use cases that need storage replicated
    within an AZ but do not require resiliency across multiple AZs, such as development and test workloads or
    storing secondary copies of data that is already stored on-premises or in other AWS Regions.
    Single-AZ\n\n<e>Content truncated. Call the read_documentation tool with start_index=4000 to get more

    on-premises infrastructure have used boot-from-SAN (Storage Area Network) rather than using locally attached
    storage. Booting from SAN offers centralized management and backup of boot volumes, supports high availability
     through multipathing, and enables greater flexibility by allowing systems to boot from pre-configured OS
    images hosted on a shared storage array to reduce cost.\n\n[Amazon FSx for NetApp
    ONTAP](https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/netapp-ontap/ \"https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/netapp-ontap/\") brings these
    benefits to the cloud. As a fully managed Amazon Web Services (AWS) service, FSx for ONTAP delivers a
    virtualized enterprise-class storage array supporting features such as high-throughput I/O, deduplication,
    compression, compaction, replication, and block-level access through iSCSI and NVMe/TCP. Most importantly for
    SAN booting, it supports thin cloning. FSx for ONTAP allows for a single thinly provisioned LUN to serve as
    the base “golden image” for an operating system (OS). Read-write snapshot clones of this LUN can be rapidly
    provisioned and presented to hundr\n\n<e>Content truncated. Call the read_documentation tool with

しっかりAWS Blogsを参照してくれていますね。内容的にも間違ったことは言っていないように思えます。回答の根拠となるドキュメントの確認もツールのレスポンスを確認すれば良いだけなので楽です。
 AWSが絡む操作では必須で使用する形になりそうな予感まだプレビューですが、AWS Knowledge MCP Serverを使ってみました。
参照するソースがAWS Documantation MCP Serverよりも多く、これはAWSが絡む操作では必須で使用する形になりそうな予感がしますね。
GAが一日でも早くなるように毎秒祈りましょう。
