Feature Request: MCP Terminal Integration for Amazon Q Developer

Feature Request: MCP Terminal Integration for Amazon Q Description I'm requesting that Amazon Q support direct integration with the Machine Comprehension Protocol (MCP) Terminal server, allowing the AI assistant to execute commands in the VS Code/VSCodium integrated terminal without requiring manual intervention from the user.

Current Behavior Currently, when Amazon Q suggests terminal commands, users must manually execute these commands using tools like curl or a custom CLI. This creates friction in the workflow and reduces productivity.

Requested Behavior Amazon Q should be able to: Read the MCP configuration from .vscode/mcp.json Send HTTP requests to the Terminal MCP server (e.g., http://localhost:8008/mcp/terminal) Execute allowed commands directly in the VS Code terminal Display the command output in the conversation

"mcp-terminal": { "url": "http://localhost:8008/mcp/terminal", "security": { "autoApprove": true, "allowedCommands": [ "ls", "cat", "echo", "grep", "find", "pwd", "ssh", "sudo", "ansible", "ansible-playbook", "curl", "docker", "docker-compose", "python", "python3", "git", "grep", "tail", "head", "awk", "sed", "sort", "mkdir", "pwd", "touch", "chmod", "chown", "cp", "mv" ], "blockedCommands": ["rm -rf /", "dd if=/dev/zero"], "allowedPatterns": [ "^git (status|log|diff|show|clone|pull|push)", "^ssh .+", "^sudo ansible.+", "^ansible.+" ], "workingDirectory": "${HOME}" } }

I've implemented a VS Code extension that creates a local server on port 8008 that executes commands in the VS Code terminal and returns the output. This works perfectly when tested with curl, but Amazon Q doesn't have the integration to use it directly.

Benefits Improved productivity through seamless command execution Better user experience with direct command output in conversations Consistency with other AI assistants that support MCP Enhanced security through the existing allowlist/blocklist mechanism Implementation Notes GitHub Copilot already supports MCP integration, as shown in the github.copilot.advanced.mcp section of my configuration. Amazon Q could implement similar functionality to read the configuration and interact with local MCP servers.

I'd be happy to provide more details or assist with testing if needed.
