What you need

An MCP server for Amazon CloudWatch, connected in Claude Code.
The uvx command, from uv, which brings uvx.

Connect

/kotharo:setup finds Amazon CloudWatch and takes you through these steps. To connect it by hand:

<profile> is the AWS CLI profile the cloud-auth adapter signs in, such as the cloud-profile in the repo's Deploy section. The server reads that profile's credentials itself; never add access keys to the command.

claude mcp add --scope user cloudwatch -e AWS_PROFILE=<profile> -e FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL=ERROR -- uvx awslabs.cloudwatch-mcp-server@latest

Install uv, which brings uvx. Its install page covers other systems.

macOS:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Windows, in Git Bash:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Linux:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Sign in with the cloud-auth adapter's step, such as aws sso login --profile <profile>. Your role needs logs:DescribeLogGroups, logs:StartQuery, logs:GetQueryResults and logs:StopQuery.
