How are AWS credentials handled?

AWS credentials must be configured before use, either by running `aws configure` or by manually editing `~/.aws/credentials` with access key, secret key, and region.

Can I access AWS services not listed in the feature list?

Yes, the `aws_sdk_wrapper` tool allows calling any AWS SDK operation directly.

What credentials does it need?

The recorded environment keys are `AWS_MCP_PORT`, `AWS_MCP_DEBUG`, `ENABLE_VECTOR_STORE`. Keep credentials outside committed files and confirm the configuration required by your installed version.
