# `fastmcp.server.auth.providers.aws`


AWS Cognito OAuth provider for FastMCP.

This module provides a complete AWS Cognito OAuth integration that's ready to use
with a user pool ID, domain prefix, client ID and client secret. It handles all
the complexity of AWS Cognito's OAuth flow, token validation, and user management.

Example:
    ```python
    from fastmcp import FastMCP
    from fastmcp.server.auth.providers.aws_cognito import AWSCognitoProvider

    # Simple AWS Cognito OAuth protection
    auth = AWSCognitoProvider(
        user_pool_id="your-user-pool-id",
        aws_region="eu-central-1",
        client_id="your-cognito-client-id",
        client_secret="your-cognito-client-secret"
    )

    mcp = FastMCP("My Protected Server", auth=auth)
    ```


## Classes

### `AWSCognitoTokenVerifier` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/auth/providers/aws.py#L40" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>


Token verifier for Cognito access tokens.

Cognito access tokens use a ``client_id`` claim instead of the
standard ``aud`` claim.  This subclass passes ``audience=None``
to the parent (skipping the ``aud`` check) and validates the
``client_id`` claim directly.


**Methods:**

#### `verify_token` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/auth/providers/aws.py#L53" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
verify_token(self, token: str) -> AccessToken | None
```

Verify token and filter claims to Cognito-specific subset.

Complete AWS Cognito OAuth provider for FastMCP.

This provider makes it trivial to add AWS Cognito OAuth protection to any
FastMCP server using OIDC Discovery. Just provide your Cognito User Pool details,
client credentials, and a base URL, and you're ready to go.

Features:
- Automatic OIDC Discovery from AWS Cognito User Pool
- Automatic JWT token validation via Cognito's public keys
- Cognito-specific claim filtering (sub, username, cognito:groups)
- Support for Cognito User Pools


**Methods:**

#### `get_token_verifier` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/auth/providers/aws.py#L209" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
get_token_verifier(self) -> AWSCognitoTokenVerifier
```

Creates a Cognito-specific token verifier with claim filtering.

**Args:**
- `algorithm`: Optional token verifier algorithm
- `audience`: Optional token verifier audience
- `required_scopes`: Optional token verifier required_scopes
- `timeout_seconds`: HTTP request timeout in seconds
