How to Set Up and Use Amazon Bedrock
Amazon Bedrock MCP Server gives AI assistants the ability to generate images using Amazon Nova Canvas, the multimodal image generation model available through Amazon Bedrock. It exposes a single generate_image tool that accepts text prompts, negative prompts, resolution, quality, seed, and batch size parameters, and returns generated images directly within the MCP conversation. This server is ideal for teams already invested in the AWS ecosystem who want to leverage Nova Canvas for image generation workflows without leaving their AI assistant.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later installed
- An active AWS account with Amazon Bedrock access enabled in your target region
- Amazon Nova Canvas model access enabled in the AWS Bedrock console
- AWS credentials configured via environment variables or ~/.aws/credentials
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop
Enable Nova Canvas in Amazon Bedrock
In the AWS Management Console, navigate to Amazon Bedrock, go to Model Access, and request access to the Amazon Nova Canvas model. Access is typically granted immediately but may take a few minutes.
Configure AWS credentials
Ensure your AWS credentials are available. The server supports three methods: environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION), an AWS credentials file with a profile, or an IAM role when running on AWS infrastructure.
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-access-key-id"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your-secret-access-key"
export AWS_REGION="us-east-1"Install and configure the MCP server via npx
Use npx to run the published package directly without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client configuration with your AWS credentials passed as environment variables.

"mcpServers": {
"amazon-bedrock": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@zxkane/mcp-server-amazon-bedrock"],

"AWS_REGION": "us-east-1"
}
}
}
}Alternatively, build from source
If you need to customize the server, clone the repository, install dependencies, and build the TypeScript source.
git clone https://github.com/zxkane/mcp-server-amazon-bedrock.git
cd mcp-server-amazon-bedrock
npm install
npm run buildUse the generate_image tool
The server exposes a single tool: generate_image. Key parameters include prompt (required, up to 1024 characters), negativePrompt (optional), width and height (default 1024px each), quality ('standard' or 'premium'), cfg_scale (1.1-10, default 6.5), seed (for reproducibility), and numberOfImages (1-5 for batch generation).
Amazon Bedrock Examples
Client configuration
Claude Desktop configuration using environment variable credentials to connect to Amazon Bedrock Nova Canvas.
{
"mcpServers": {
"amazon-bedrock": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@zxkane/mcp-server-amazon-bedrock"],
"env": {

"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "your-secret-access-key",
"AWS_REGION": "us-east-1"
}
}
}
}Prompts to try
Use these prompts with Claude once Amazon Bedrock MCP Server is connected to generate images with Nova Canvas.
- "Generate a premium quality image of a serene mountain landscape at sunset, 1024x1024"
- "Create 3 variations of a logo design for a tech startup using Nova Canvas"
- "Generate an image of a modern kitchen interior, avoid people and clutter, seed 42 for consistency"
- "Make a high-quality product photo of a coffee cup on a wooden table, white background"
- "Generate a fantasy landscape with a castle on a cliff, premium quality"Troubleshooting Amazon Bedrock
Access denied or model not available error
Go to the AWS Bedrock console, navigate to Model Access, and confirm that Amazon Nova Canvas is enabled for your account. Also ensure your AWS_REGION matches the region where you requested model access.
AWS credentials not found or invalid
Verify that AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY are set correctly in the MCP client env block. The IAM user or role must have the bedrock:InvokeModel permission. Run aws sts get-caller-identity in a terminal to confirm your credentials are valid.
Images not returned or generation fails silently
Avoid negative language in the main prompt — put unwanted elements in the negativePrompt parameter instead. Keep the prompt between 1 and 1024 characters. If generating multiple images (numberOfImages > 1), be aware that generation time scales proportionally.
