Activating this Kiro Power

Once installed, mention MCP-related keywords in your Kiro chat:

"Help me build a mcp-server in python using stdio transport"
"Create a mcp server with a tool for searching contacts"
"How do I design tools for AI agents?"

Kiro will automatically activate the MCP Maker power and load relevant context.

Example Prompt

Copy the below prompt and paste it into Kiro IDE chat window and see a fully working MCP server built for you (one-shotted) in no time. 🎉

Build a new `stock-price-watch` mcp-server using stdio transport with the following tools.

- `list_available_tickers` - List all available Free stock tickers to query on financialdatasets.ai API endpoint.
- `compare_stocks` - Compare multiple stocks side by side.
- `get_stock_snapshot` - Get current stock price snapshot with key metrics.

Follow these instructions:

1. Use the financialdatasets.ai API endpoint: <https://api.financialdatasets.ai/prices/snapshot/?ticker={ticker}>
2. Set appropriate headers including User-Agent: "Mozilla/0.1" and Accept: "application/json"
3. Parse the response to extract key metrics like price, volume, day_change, and day_change_percent

When displaying responses:

- Format financial data in a professional, easy-to-read manner
- Highlight important metrics like current price, volume, and daily changes
- Provide context for price movements (positive/negative changes)
- Handle errors appropriately and suggest alternative tickers if needed
- Convert raw data into meaningful financial insights

We'll be using the free endpoint (no API KEY) only a few tickers are accessible.\
Note: Available tickers on free endpoint are: Available free tickers: AAPL, BRK.B, GOOGL, MSFT, NVDA, TSLA.

Use your best judgement.

You should have plenty of context left for additional tweaks and updates - even after the requested server fully built.

Here's another. Build weather-watch mcp server.

Build a new `weather-watch` mcp server in python using stdio transport with the following tools.

- `get_alerts` - Get's weather alerts for a give state.
- `get_lat_long` - Converts US city names to latitude/longitude coordinates.
- `get_forecast` - Get weather forecase for a give latitude, longitude coordinates.

When a User asks: "What's the forecast for San Francisco?" LLM makes the following tool calls.

```text
1. get_lat_long("San Francisco") → 37.7749, -122.4194
2. get_forecast(37.7749, -122.4194) → Detailed forecast
```

Use these following free API endpoints to query weather data

- GEOCODE_API_BASE = "https://geocode.xyz"
- NWS_API_BASE = "https://api.weather.gov"

Follow these instructions:

1. Ask clarifying questions relevant for building this mcp server.
2. Always get forecast for next 7 days and format the results neatly.

Cloudscape Design System

Build professional, accessible React applications using the AWS Cloudscape Design System - the same system powering the AWS Management Console.

Features

• 90+ production-ready React components with built-in accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA)
• Token-based theming with light/dark mode and content density settings
• Comprehensive patterns for layouts, forms, tables, charts, and GenAI interfaces
• Full TypeScript support with typed components and event handlers

Full Example Prompt

Here's a complete prompt that triggers this Kiro power and builds a functional dashboard:

Copy this prompt and paste it into Kiro IDE to experience a fully working Cloudscape dashboard built for you. 🎉

Build a React dashboard application using Cloudscape Design System with the following features:

1. **App Layout**: Use AppLayout with a collapsible side navigation containing:
    - Dashboard (home)
    - Users (list view)
    - Settings

2. **Dashboard Page**: Create a dashboard with:
    - Header showing "Analytics Dashboard" with a refresh button
    - 4 metric cards in a ColumnLayout showing: Total Users, Active Sessions, Revenue, Growth %
    - A LineChart showing user activity over the last 7 days
    - A Table showing recent transactions with columns: ID, User, Amount, Status, Date

3. **Table Features**: The transactions table should include:
    - PropertyFilter for searching by user or status
    - Pagination (10 items per page)
    - Selection checkboxes with bulk actions (Export, Delete)
    - StatusIndicator for transaction status (success=green, pending=yellow, failed=red)

4. **Requirements**:
    - Use TypeScript throughout
    - Support dark mode toggle in the top navigation
    - All components must be accessible (proper ariaLabels)
    - Use design tokens for any custom styling

Use your best judgment for sample data and styling.

The power will automatically load relevant steering files for layouts, tables, charts, and navigation. 🎉
