Before you call either
AWS MCP Servers
- Use
https://knowledge-mcp.global.api.awsfor docs and regional availability. It's rate-limited with no published numbers, so cache results - Call
get_regional_availabilitybefore proposing a service or CloudFormation resource in a region - Run the AWS API server with
READ_OPERATIONS_ONLY=truefor inspection, andREQUIRE_MUTATION_CONSENT=truewhen writes are allowed - Use a scoped IAM role, not an admin profile. IAM is the boundary the servers rely on
- Pin package versions. Releases land several times a month and can rename or remove tools
Cloudflare MCP Servers
- Start with
https://docs.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcpfor anything documentation-shaped. It needs no auth - On mcp.cloudflare.com, call
searchto find the endpoint beforeexecute, and return only the fields you need from the code - Keep the read-only template at consent unless the task needs a write
- Use mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp instead of the Audit Logs or GraphQL servers, which are deprecated
