AWS S3 Management via MCP

Use this skill when you need to manage S3 buckets, browse objects, upload/download files, or generate presigned URLs.

Available Tools

Tool	What it does
`list_buckets`	List all S3 buckets in the AWS account
`list_objects`	List objects in a bucket with optional prefix filter
`get_object`	Download and read an object's content as text
`put_object`	Upload text content to an S3 object
`delete_object`	Delete an object from a bucket
`presigned_url`	Generate a temporary presigned URL for an object
`bucket_info`	Check if a bucket exists and get basic info

Workflow

Start with list_buckets to discover available buckets
Use list_objects with a prefix to browse directories within a bucket
get_object reads text content; for binary files, use presigned_url instead
presigned_url generates a temporary shareable link (default 1 hour expiry)

Key Patterns

list_objects uses prefix-based filtering (S3 doesn't have real directories): prefix: "uploads/2026/"
get_object returns text content only; it won't work for images, binaries, or large files
put_object takes string content; use it for config files, JSON, text, not binary uploads
presigned_url is the right tool for sharing files or accessing binary content

Error Scenarios

AccessDenied: IAM policy missing S3 actions for the bucket/key
NoSuchBucket or NoSuchKey: verify names with list_buckets / list_objects
get_object garbled or failed: object may be binary or too large; use presigned_url instead
Region errors: set AWS_REGION to the bucket's region

Safety

Always confirm before delete_object; S3 deletions are permanent (unless versioning is enabled)
Always confirm before put_object to an existing key; it overwrites without warning
Presigned URLs grant temporary access to anyone with the link; warn users about this
