Getting started with the LocalStack Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

What if your AI coding assistant could not only write infrastructure code, but also deploy it, test it, and fix issues automatically — all on your local machine? That's exactly what the LocalStack MCP Server makes possible.In this session, we'll introduce the LocalStack Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a new tool that lets AI agents manage your entire local cloud development lifecycle through a conversational interface. You'll learn:What MCP is and why it's a game-changer for AI-assisted developmentHow the LocalStack MCP Server turns manual cloud tasks into automated workflowsHow to set up and configure the server with your favorite AI editor (Cursor, VS Code, etc.)Real-world demos: deploying CDK apps, analyzing logs, running chaos tests, managing state with Cloud Pods, and more.Through hands-on examples, we'll walk through a complete workflow where an AI agent deploys a serverless application, verifies resources, troubleshoots issues, and tests resilience, all without leaving the conversation.If you've ever wished your AI assistant could do more than just generate code, this talk will show you what's possible when agents can actually manage your local cloud environment.

Fake It Till You Make It: Cloud Edition

Building and debugging cloud-native applications often involves slow CI/CD pipelines, hard-to-reproduce bugs, and the need for costly shared environments. LocalStack offers a better way — letting developers simulate real AWS services entirely on their local machine.In this presentation, Kiah Imani gives a hands-on walkthrough of building and testing AWS workflows locally with LocalStack. From Lambda functions to S3 pre-signed uploads and SNS/SQS pipelines, you'll see how to prototype, debug, and iterate on cloud-native apps without ever deploying to the cloud.### Resources- S3: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/services/s3/- Lambda: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/services/lambda/- SQS: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/services/sqs/- SNS: https://docs.localstack.cloud/aws/services/sns/- Repo: https://github.com/localstack-samples/sample-serverless-image-resizer-s3-lambda/
