IAM Policy Autopilot: Stop writing IAM policies by hand

Your AI coding assistant is amazing at writing Lambda functions. But IAM policies? That's where things fall apart.

Meet IAM Policy Autopilot. It reads your code, sees the AWS SDK calls you're making, and generates the policies you need. Automatically. No hallucinations. No permission errors on deploy.

How it works:

You write a Lambda that calls S3 PutObject with KMS encryption. Autopilot sees that. It knows you'll need s3:PutObject, but also kms:Encrypt and kms:GenerateDataKey. It includes CloudWatch logs permissions too. Everything your function needs to actually run.

Works in two ways:

1. MCP Server Mode — integrates directly into Claude, Amazon Q Developer, Cline, Cursor, Claude Code. Your assistant invokes it automatically while building your infrastructure.

2. CLI Mode — run it standalone on your codebase. Supports Python, Go, TypeScript.

The real win: It understands cross-service dependencies. Most tools don't. They see S3 calls and stop there. Autopilot knows the ecosystem. It thinks about encryption, logging, all the things that actually break deployments.

You still review everything before deploying (you should). But instead of starting from scratch or fighting cryptic permission errors, you get a working baseline in seconds.

Open source. Free. No additional cost. Available now on GitHub.

Stop becoming an IAM expert just to deploy code. Let Autopilot handle the permissions.
