AWS describes how the Smartsheet Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server enables AI agents to read, update, and act on live work management data. The post presents two ways to connect the server on AWS: Amazon Quick, aimed at business teams, and Kiro, aimed at developers. Both approaches are intended to let agents interact with Smartsheet data without requiring users to switch between tools.
Why it matters
Connecting agents directly to work management data through a standardized protocol like MCP allows automated workflows to operate on live project information. Offering distinct paths for business users and developers broadens who can set up these integrations.
Who should care
Business teams using Smartsheet and developers building agent-based workflows on AWS are the primary audiences, particularly those looking to integrate work management data into AI agents.
