list-buckets
Lists available S3 buckets that the server has permission to access. This tool respects the S3BUCKETS configuration that limits which buckets are shown.
How to use it
list-buckets is exposed by the Aws S3 MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the list-buckets tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.
