AWS announces IAM Policy Autopilot to help builders generate IAM policies from code

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) announces IAM Policy Autopilot, an open source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and command-line tool that helps your AI coding assistants quickly create baseline IAM policies that you can refine as your application evolves, so you can build faster. IAM Policy Autopilot analyzes your application code locally to create identity-based policies to control access for application roles, reducing the time you spend on writing IAM policies and troubleshooting access issues.

IAM Policy Autopilot integrates with AI coding assistants like Kiro, Claude Code, and Cursor, and supports Python, TypeScript, and Go applications. It stays up to date with the latest AWS services and features so that builders and coding assistants have access to the latest AWS IAM permissions knowledge.

IAM Policy Autopilot is available at no additional cost and can be used from your own machine. To start using IAM Policy Autopilot, visit the GitHub repository and follow the setup instructions for MCP server. You can also learn more about IAM Policy Autopilot by visiting AWS News Blog.
