What it is

Kiro is an agentic IDE from AWS that turns prompts into structured, spec-driven development. Beyond chat, Kiro exposes Kiro Powers — installable extensions and capabilities — and supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so teams can browse and connect external tools, data sources, and servers directly inside the editor. It serves developers who want autonomous, plan-then-build workflows backed by reusable context rather than ad-hoc one-off prompts.

How to access / install

Download the IDE or learn more from the official site:

Website: https://kiro.dev/

Inside Kiro you configure MCP servers through the editor’s MCP settings, typically a JSON config such as .kiro/settings/mcp.json in your workspace (or a user-level equivalent), where each server is declared with its command and arguments. Powers are managed from within the IDE’s extension/Powers surface.

Good for

Spec-driven and agentic coding where the IDE plans, scaffolds, and iterates.
Teams already on AWS who want a first-party agentic editor.
Connecting MCP servers and Kiro Powers to extend the assistant with custom tooling.
