What aws-transform does

The plugin ships a skill called aws-transform and an MCP server called aws-transform-mcp. The skill covers assessment, planning and execution for .NET, mainframe, VMware, SQL and language or SDK upgrades. The MCP server exposes tools for workspaces, jobs, agents, human-in-the-loop tasks and authentication.

Work it handles: .NET Framework to .NET 8/10, mainframe COBOL to Java, VMware VMs to EC2, SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL to Aurora, plus Java, Python and Node.js version bumps with AWS SDK updates. Custom transformations you define yourself are supported too.

You need uv before anything runs, since the MCP server launches through uvx. AWS credentials for AWS Transform (SigV4) or an IAM Identity Center session are also required. The AWS Transform CLI (atx) matters only for custom transformations. Without working authentication the skill stalls at assessment, so check that first.

What it helps with

  • move a .NET Framework app to .NET 8
  • take a Java 8 project up to Java 21
  • shift VMware VMs onto EC2
  • convert a SQL Server database to Aurora PostgreSQL
  • refresh AWS SDK versions in a Python or Node.js repo

Example prompts for the agent

  • Migrate this .NET Framework app to .NET 8 on AWS
  • Upgrade this Java 8 project to Java 21
  • Convert this SQL Server database to Aurora PostgreSQL

# AWS Transform Agent Plugin

Migrate and modernize codebases to AWS. Covers .NET Framework to .NET 8/10, mainframe COBOL to Java, VMware VMs to EC2, SQL Server/Oracle/MySQL to Aurora, and Java/Python/Node.js language and AWS SDK upgrades, plus custom transformations defined by the user.

## Overview

AWS Transform is AWS's AI-powered code and workload modernization service. This plugin brings its workflow guidance into AI coding agents: assess, plan, transform, and validate — routed through just-in-time authentication and workload-specific steering.
