Official AWS Labs MCP for SageMaker HyperPod cluster management: deployment, node management, lifecycle operations on EKS-orchestrated or Slurm-orchestrated clusters. Read-only by default; --allow-write and --allow-sensitive-data-access flags gate destructive operations. 2 commits on the server path in the last 30 days, the lowest cadence in this batch; Tier 2 placement reflects the cadence.

INSTALL THIS SERVER

Requires authenticationAWS credentials chain (AWS_PROFILE, environment, or instance role). IAM permissions required: SageMaker HyperPod read for default mode; cluster mutation permissions for --allow-write mode.

PrereqRequires uv installed and an AWS profile with SageMaker HyperPod IAM permissions. PyPI package: `awslabs.sagemaker-ai-mcp-server`. Default mode is read-only; pass --allow-write to enable cluster mutations. Path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS).

OUR ASSESSMENT

Strengths
  • Apache-2.0 licence.
  • Official AWS Labs maintenance with 8,924 parent-repo stars.
  • Read-only default with explicit --allow-write opt-in.
  • Stack Protection guards against cross-tool CloudFormation stack mutation.
  • Configurable AWS profile and region via standard environment variables.
Weaknesses
  • 2 commits on the server path in the last 30 days, lowest cadence in this batch.
  • HyperPod is the only SageMaker surface covered; full SageMaker control-plane operations live elsewhere.
  • File system access is broad (the README documents this as a security consideration): the server can read and write any path the host user can.
  • Designed for local stdio use; HTTP transport carries additional risk per the README.
Security Notes

The server defaults to read-only mode. Open --allow-write only for sessions where cluster mutation is intended. Open --allow-sensitive-data-access only when access to sensitive HyperPod data is required. Run under a dedicated AWS profile with HyperPod-scoped IAM permissions. The host file system is accessible to the server; scope the agent filesystem accordingly. The README warns against network exposure of this server.

Best For

ML platform teams running SageMaker HyperPod for distributed training jobs; AWS shops where training infrastructure runs inside SageMaker for compliance and IAM unification with the rest of the AWS workload; operators who want a guarded MCP entry point for HyperPod cluster operations (read-only by default; explicit flags for write paths).

SOURCES & VERIFICATION

We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 4 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.

// How other directories see it

The same server, 4 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
