Install, configure, and troubleshoot the EKS MCP Server connection in your AI assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro). Use ONLY for MCP server setup problems — config file location (.mcp.json), IAM permissions for eks-mcp actions, uvx installation, choosing AWS-hosted vs self-hosted mode, or debugging why MCP tools fail to appear after config. Also activate if user mentions "eks mcp", "mcp server", "mcp.json", or "mcp tools not showing". Do NOT use for actual cluster operations once MCP is workin…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'eks-mcp-server' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'eks-mcp-server' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named eks-mcp-server already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/aws-samples/sample-apex-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3ab6c5dd31e7910e2faed03010acf4af434cc94a' -- 'skills/eks-mcp-server' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/eks-mcp-server' ~/.agents/skills/'eks-mcp-server' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'eks-mcp-server' ~/.claude/skills/'eks-mcp-server' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
