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.
Cost Breakdown
## Free Tier The MCP server itself is completely free and open source.
## Self-Hosted Runs locally or on your own infrastructure.
## Paid No paid tier. The underlying service may have its own pricing.
