The Open Source Drop Lens

This handler flips the script. Instead of calling Lambda from MCP, it lets you run an MCP server as a Lambda function. Your AI tools become serverless endpoints. Setup requires packaging your MCP server as a Lambda deployment.

Lambda's free tier is generous, but cold starts add latency to tool calls. This is a library, not a standalone server, so you need to write the glue code yourself.

Interesting pattern for teams that want centralized, shared MCP tools without running persistent servers. The catch: cold starts make interactive tool use sluggish, and debugging Lambda-hosted MCP servers is harder than local ones.
