Integration

AWS DynamoDB integration

Amazon DynamoDB fully managed NoSQL database API. Create and manage tables, perform CRUD operations on items, execute queries and scans, run PartiQL statements (ExecuteStatement / ExecuteTransaction / BatchExecuteStatement), manage indexes, handle batch and transactional operations, and export tables to S3 for high-performance key-value and document workloads. Notes: DynamoDB Streams (DescribeStream, GetRecords, GetShardIterator, ListStreams) live on the separate streams.{region}.amazonaws.com endpoint and are not included here. Global Tables version 2017.11.29 (CreateGlobalTable, UpdateGlobalTable, DescribeGlobalTable, UpdateGlobalTableSettings, DescribeGlobalTableSettings) is deprecated; manage Global Tables v2 (2019.11.21) via UpdateTable.ReplicaUpdates.

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in AWS DynamoDB.Built from the 36 AWS DynamoDB tools below, on the connection you add once.

Common AWS DynamoDB use cases

Scaling table capacity up or down
Reading all items from a small table
Checking if TTL is enabled on a table
Bulk loading data into DynamoDB tables
Removing individual records from a table
Cleaning up unused tables to reduce costs
Fetching a single record by its primary key
Inserting new records into a DynamoDB table
Checking if point-in-time recovery is enabled
Checking table status and provisioned capacity

What you can do with AWS DynamoDB

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Item, 10 operations

batch_get_itemBatch get itemPOSTRetrieves up to 100 items by primary key from one or more DynamoDB tables in a single call.

Use AWS DynamoDB from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect AWS DynamoDB in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its AWS DynamoDB operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect AWS DynamoDB

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect AWS DynamoDB once
Add your AWS DynamoDB connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
