[!IMPORTANT] The LocalStack MCP server is currently available as an experimental public preview. For questions, issues or feedback, please utilize the LocalStack Community slack or submit a GitHub Issue
LocalStack emulates the cloud on your local machine so software teams and AI agents can validate security, quality, and reliability faster and more safely than the cloud allows. This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets any MCP client (Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and more) start LocalStack, deploy infrastructure, and debug your local cloud in natural language.
Quick start
Set up the server in your MCP client with the interactive wizard:
npx -y @localstack/localstack-mcp-server initThe wizard detects your installed clients, asks how you want to run the server, and writes the configuration for you. You need a LocalStack Auth Token; the wizard reads LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN from your environment or asks for it. For the full options, prerequisites, and manual setup, see Installation.
