AWS MCP: Support in VS Code

[bluayer]

Describe the feature

Please enable the use of AWS MCP in VS Code similar to the Azure MCP server. It would be great if an AWS MCP plugin or integration with the Amazon Q plugin was available.

Azure MCP Server plugin : https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-azure-mcp-server

Use Case

Most users launch the terminal within their IDE and use MCP. Especially, the feedback on the Azure MCP Server plugin has been very positive and useful.

Proposed Solution

You can use Amazon Q extension, MCPs are already available there. But it would be nice to have more models to chose than available in Q.

In PyCharm it works as well with Copilot and containers:

         "aws-eks-mcp": {
			"type": "stdio",
			"command": "podman",
			"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "localhost/awslabs/eks-mcp-server:latest"]
		 }

Containers should be pre-build(no more)

UPDATE: public.ecr.aws/awslabs-mcp

We gave Install | VS Code buttons on the README. How is the extension different?
