Sign In — Get CLI/SDK Credentials

Help developers get AWS credentials for local development using aws login. This provides short-term, auto-rotating credentials that refresh every 15 minutes and remain valid for up to 12 hours.

Important:

  • You MUST run aws login and aws --version in the user's local shell — NOT via MCP/API tools.
  • You MUST ask the user for confirmation before running aws login. Do not tell the user to run the command themselves — ask if YOU should run it (e.g., "Ready for me to run aws login?" or "Shall I proceed with aws login?"). Wait for their response before proceeding.

Prerequisites

The aws login command requires AWS CLI version 2.32.0 or later.

Check the installed version:

aws --version
