In this hands on workshop, learn to use Kiro, an agentic coding service to write code to create a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that can query the Registry of Open Data. You will use vibe coding, where you chat with Kiro about your code through natural language conversations. Simply tell Kiro what you need, and watch as it writes the code for you. Kiro will write all of the python code for the server and will interactively test it as we create each new tool.
Prerequisites:
- Basic understanding of AWS services (helpful but not required)
- Ability to describe what you want in plain English (required!)
This workshop is for anyone who can describe what they want to build:
- Software developers who want to code faster
- Product managers who want to prototype quickly
- Technical architects exploring AI-powered development
- Anyone curious about the future of software development
