AWS announces a new Regional planning tool in Builder Center

Today, AWS announced a new tool called AWS Capabilities by Region in Builder Center. This tool helps you discover and compare AWS services, features, APIs, CloudFormation resources across AWS Regions. You can explore service availability through an interactive interface, compare multiple Regions side-by-side, and view forward-looking roadmap information. This detailed visibility helps you make informed decisions about global deployments and prevent project delays due to service unavailability.

In addition to this tool, AWS also enhanced the AWS Knowledge Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server to include information about Regional capabilities in an LLM-compatible format. MCP clients and agentic frameworks can connect to the AWS Knowledge MCP Server to get real-time insights into regional service availability and suggestions for alternative solutions when specific services or features are unavailable.

You can begin exploring AWS Capabilities by Region in AWS Builder Center today. The Knowledge MCP server is also publicly accessible at no cost and does not require an AWS account. Usage is subject to rate limits. Follow the getting started guide for setup instructions.
