The AWS MCP Server is now generally available

Today, AWS announces the general availability of the AWS MCP Server, a managed server that gives AI coding agents secure, auditable access to AWS services through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The AWS MCP Server is a core component of the Agent Toolkit for AWS, which helps coding agents build on AWS more effectively. With the AWS MCP Server, organizations can let coding agents interact with AWS while maintaining visibility and control through IAM-based guardrails, Amazon CloudWatch metrics, and AWS CloudTrail logging.
Since the preview launch at re:Invent 2025, the AWS MCP Server has added several capabilities. Agents can now call any AWS API through a single tool, including operations that require file uploads or long-running execution. Sandboxed script execution lets agents run Python code against AWS services for multi-step operations, without access to your local filesystem or shell tools. Agent skills replace agent SOPs with a more flexible format: agents discover and load curated guidance on demand, keeping context window usage low while providing tested procedures for complex tasks. Additionally, documentation search and skill discovery no longer require AWS credentials, removing a common barrier to getting started.
The AWS MCP Server is available at no additional charge; you pay only for the AWS resources your agents use. To learn more, see Agent Toolkit for AWS. To get started, visit the Agent Toolkit for AWS Quick Start guide.

AWS Elemental MediaTailor now supports ad trickplay personalization and compact DASH manifest optimization via dynamic transcoding

AWS Elemental MediaTailor now enhances streaming ad personalization with support for trickplay features in HLS and DASH formats. This update also introduces compact DASH manifests for more efficient manifest delivery. Previously, these capabilities required a custom transcode profile. They are now supported natively through dynamic transcoding, eliminating that requirement.
MediaTailor provides server-side ad insertion (SSAI) to personalize ads in video streams. As streaming platforms increasingly support trickplay navigation, ensuring that advertisements are properly transcoded with trickplay variants and associated image streams is critical for a seamless viewer experience. These variants must match the specifications of the origin content. With this update:

Ad Trickplay Personalization: Trickplay personalization matching is now fully supported for both HLS and DASH workflows via dynamic transcoding. MediaTailor ensures that advertisements include trickplay variants and associated image streams that align with origin content specifications. This delivers a consistent experience when viewers fast-forward or rewind through content. A custom transcode profile is no longer required to enable this capability.

Compact DASH Manifest Support: MediaTailor now supports compact DASH manifests via dynamic transcoding. This optimization elevates the SegmentTemplate element from individual Representation elements to the AdaptationSet level, reducing overall manifest size. Thise results ins more efficient manifest delivery and improved compatibility with players and workflows that rely on compact manifest structures. A custom transcode profile is no longer required to enable this capability. 

AWS Elemental MediaTailor’s ad trickplay personalization and compact DASH manifest optimization are available in all AWS Regions where MediaTailor is available, including US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon); Africa (Cape Town); Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Malaysia, Melbourne, Mumbai, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo); Canada (Central); Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Paris, Stockholm); Middle East (UAE); and South America (São Paulo). There is no additional cost for this feature. To learn more, visit the AWS Elemental MediaTailor User Guide.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk now supports TLS listeners for Network Load Balancers

AWS Elastic Beanstalk now supports TLS listeners for environments configured with a Network Load Balancer. You can configure a TLS listener with an SSL certificate and security policy, allowing the load balancer to handle secure connections and forward decrypted traffic to your instances. You can configure TLS listeners through the Elastic Beanstalk console or CLI.
 
Previously, Elastic Beanstalk did not support TLS listeners for NLB environments as a managed configuration option. With this launch, you can configure TLS listener settings directly through Elastic Beanstalk.
 
This feature is available in all AWS regions that support Elastic Beanstalk and Network Load Balancers.
 
To get started, see Configuring a Network Load Balancer in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide. For more information about SSL certificates and security policies, see the Elastic Load Balancing documentation.

Amazon Neptune now supports 1-click connect with CloudShell

Amazon Neptune now offers 1-click connect capability, enabling you to quickly connect to Neptune Database and Neptune Analytics using CloudShell.
Previously, connecting to Neptune resources required manual configuration network settings and access permissions, taking time from database administrators, developers, and data analysts who needed to query their graph databases. With 1-click connect, you can immediately start querying your Neptune resources without manual network configuration, significantly reducing setup time and technical complexity. This streamlined approach works across different network configurations, including VPC only resources. 1-click connect is particularly valuable for testing and development workflows, troubleshooting, and for customers new to Neptune who want to quickly explore and experiment with their graph data. 1-click connect is available at no additional charge in all regions where Amazon Neptune is currently offered. To learn more and how to get started, visit https://aws.amazon.com/neptune/.

AWS Marketplace now supports programmatic procurement with Agreements API

Today, AWS Marketplace announces the Agreements API, enabling you to procure AWS Marketplace products and manage agreements programmatically. With this launch, you can generate estimates, accept offers, track charges and entitlements, update purchase orders and manage agreements all within your existing tools and workflows.
Combined with the Discovery API, the Agreements API provides an end-to-end procurement journey from product discovery to purchase. You can integrate these APIs into your procurement systems to build custom workflows and streamline operations across your organization. Partners can also use these APIs to build custom storefronts that deliver unified procurement experiences for their customers. 
The AWS Marketplace Agreements APIs is available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region.
To get started, configure AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions for your AWS account and call the API through the AWS SDK. To learn more, see the AWS Marketplace Agreement APIs documentation.
