What you can do with AWS RDS

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.

Db cluster, 7 operations

  • POSTcreate_db_cluster

    Creates a new Amazon Aurora DB cluster.

  • POSTdelete_db_cluster

    Deletes a DB cluster. Can optionally create a final cluster snapshot before deletion.

  • POSTdescribe_db_clusters

    Returns information about provisioned Aurora DB clusters.

  • POSTmodify_db_cluster

    Modifies settings for an Aurora DB cluster.

  • POSTreboot_db_cluster

    Reboots an Aurora DB cluster, restarting all database engine instances in the cluster.

  • POSTstart_db_cluster

    Starts an Aurora DB cluster that was previously stopped.

  • POSTstop_db_cluster

    Stops an Aurora DB cluster temporarily. The cluster can be restarted later.

Db instance, 7 operations

  • POSTcreate_db_instance

    Creates a new DB instance for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SQL Server, or Aurora.

  • POSTdelete_db_instance

    Deletes a DB instance. Can optionally create a final snapshot before deletion.

  • POSTdescribe_db_instances

    Returns information about provisioned DB instances. Supports filtering by identifier and pagination.

  • POSTmodify_db_instance

    Modifies settings for a DB instance. Changes can be applied immediately or during the next maintenance window.

  • POSTreboot_db_instance

    Reboots a DB instance. Can optionally force a failover for Multi-AZ deployments.

  • POSTstart_db_instance

    Starts a DB instance that was previously stopped.

  • POSTstop_db_instance

    Stops a running DB instance temporarily. The instance can be restarted later.

Db parameter group, 3 operations

  • POSTcreate_db_parameter_group

    Creates a new DB parameter group for configuring database engine settings.

  • POSTdescribe_db_parameter_groups

    Returns a list of DB parameter groups.

  • POSTmodify_db_parameter_group

    Modifies parameters in a DB parameter group.

Db snapshot, 3 operations

  • POSTcreate_db_snapshot

    Creates a snapshot of a DB instance, which can later be used to restore the instance.

  • POSTdelete_db_snapshot

    Deletes a manual DB snapshot.

  • POSTdescribe_db_snapshots

    Returns information about DB snapshots. Supports filtering by instance, snapshot ID, and type.

Db cluster snapshot, 2 operations

  • POSTcreate_db_cluster_snapshot

    Creates a snapshot of a DB cluster.

  • POSTdescribe_db_cluster_snapshots

    Returns information about DB cluster snapshots.

Tag, 2 operations

  • POSTadd_tags_to_resource

    Adds metadata tags to an Amazon RDS resource (instance, cluster, snapshot, etc.).

  • POSTlist_tags_for_resource

    Lists all tags associated with an Amazon RDS resource.

Db instance from db snapshot, 1 operation

  • POSTrestore_db_instance_from_db_snapshot

    Creates a new DB instance by restoring from a DB snapshot.

Db subnet group, 1 operation

  • POSTdescribe_db_subnet_groups

    Returns a list of DB subnet groups.

Use AWS RDS from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect AWS RDS in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its AWS RDS 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

How to connect AWS RDS

  1. Create your workspace

    Sign up free. Nothing to install.

  2. Connect AWS RDS once

    Add your AWS RDS connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.

  3. 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.
