Verdict

Pick Consult7 if you want a local (stdio) server that keeps data on your machine.

Pick AWS Knowledge MCP if you want the official, vendor-maintained server, and you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option.

Add Consult7

Install / run

claude mcp add -s user consult7 uvx -- consult7 your-openrouter-api-key

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "consult7": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "consult7",
        "your-openrouter-api-key"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Requires `uv` (the Python package runner). Install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ if `uvx` is not found.

Add AWS Knowledge MCP

Install / run

Add URL https://knowledge-mcp.global.api.aws as an HTTP MCP server

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aws-knowledge-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://knowledge-mcp.global.api.aws"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop connects to remote servers through the `mcp-remote` proxy (installed on first run via npx). Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
