Currently aws configure agent-toolkit adds a local proxy-based MCP server definition (with user approval) to an agent's config. Since the user is already running the aws CLI they likely don't need the control plane part of the AWS MCP server, this can confuse the agent about what to use, it has a system dependency on uv, and is difficult to troubleshoot. Instead, the aws CLI should only add the HTTP-based AWS Knowledge MCP server.
