About

Amazon Q Developer CLI brought agentic coding to the terminal for AWS developers: q chat provided an agentic experience with MCP support, built on a Rust codebase (crates/chat-cli) and authenticated through AWS login. It ran on macOS (brew cask or DMG) and Linux (deb/AppImage), with documentation in AWS's developer guide. The project accumulated roughly 2k stars and 1,100 commits before AWS announced it would receive only critical security fixes, directing users to Kiro CLI — the closed-source successor maintained at kiro.dev/cli, with issues tracked under kirodotdev/Kiro. Existing installs keep working, but feature development now happens in the proprietary successor, making this repo the last open-source artifact of that product line.
