AWS adds a new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AWS CloudTrail in the AWS Labs MCP open-source repository . This server enables AI agents to leverage comprehensive security and compliance capabilities through simple conversational interfaces. The CloudTrail MCP server allows AI assistants to analyze API calls, track user activities, and perform advanced security analysis across your AWS environment through natural language interactions.

The MCP server streamlines security investigation and compliance workflows by offering direct access to CloudTrail events and CloudTrail Lake analytics. AI agents can efficiently search 90-day management event histories and run Trino SQL queries on CloudTrail Lake data spanning up to 10 years. This natural language interface eliminates the need for custom API integrations, allowing AI agents to conduct security analyses and compliance checks seamlessly.

Available in all AWS regions where CloudTrail LookupEvents API or CloudTrail Lake is supported. Refer to documentation  to learn more about supported regions.

Download CloudTrail MCP server from AWS Labs MCP open-source repository. To get started, visit:

• AWS Labs MCP repository on GitHub
• CloudTrail MCP server documentation

Amazon Athena  announces single sign-on support for its JDBC and ODBC drivers through AWS IAM Identity Center’s trusted identity propagation. This makes it simpler for organizations to manage end-user’s access to data when using 3rd party tools and implement identity-based data governance policies with a seamless sign-on experience.

With this new capability, data teams can seamlessly access data through their preferred 3rd party tools using their organizational credentials. When analysts run queries using the updated Athena JDBC (3.6.0) and ODBC (2.0.5.0) drivers, their access permissions defined in Lake Formation are applied and their actions logged. This streamlined workflow eliminates credential management overhead while ensuring consistent security policies, allowing data teams to focus on insights rather than access management. For example, data analysts using 3rd party BI tools or SQL clients can now connect to Athena using their corporate credentials, and their access to data will be restricted based on policies defined for their respective user identity or group membership in Lake Formation.

This feature is available in regions where Amazon Athena and AWS Identity Center’s trusted identity propagation are supported. To learn more about configuring identity support when using Athena drivers, see the Amazon Athena driver documentation.
