## AI overview

Amazon WorkSpaces for AI agents adds Linux and Windows 11 fleets (Windows 11 requires BYOL), plus OAuth sign-in for MCP clients such as Kiro and Claude Code. The Agent Toolkit for AWS now includes a skill that explains session connections, connection modes, desktop tools, batching, forwarded MCP tools, and common errors. OAuth uses browser sign-in with an AWS identity; short-lived tokens renew automatically, while per-tool IAM permissions and CloudTrail logging remain in place. Existing SigV4 connections continue to work. Setup requires a configured WorkSpaces Applications stack and running fleet, suitable IAM permissions, Node.js, and a supported client. Features are available in Regions offering the WorkSpaces Applications MCP endpoint.
