How to Put Amazon Q or Any Agentic Coding on Steroids with MCPs
Abstract
Amazon Q is powerful out of the box, but in the terminal it becomes a superpower. In this talk, I share how I turned Amazon Q CLI into a fully-fledged, verification‑first AI platform using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) all without adding $0 extra cost.
I’ll walk through how I built 49 MCP servers to remove hallucinations, browser automation with Playwright, and live AWS verification that eliminates hallucinations in practice.
You’ll see Financial Services Institution grade guardrails (production protection, cost controls, and full audit trails) that makes Q feel native to a builder’s workflow, secure and reliable. You’ll leave with a blueprint to extend Amazon Q/ any agentic coding beyond chat into a trusted, terminal‑first, agentic platform you own and can evolve infinitely.
