For anyone wondering, Amazon already offers an Agentic coding CLI similar to Claude Code: https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli

It has a pretty decent free tier, and maybe the subscription is better value than Claude Code, but hard to tell.

It supports MCP as well.

Amazon Q also has a VC Code and IntelliJ Idea plugin too, Kiro goes beyond what you can do as a plugin in VS Code though, similar to why Cursor had to fork VS Code.

Q CLI has so many issues though, injects so much junk into you shell profiles it can slow down your terminal invocations by seconds, and it doesn't support standard streamableHttp / SSE MCP servers.

I turn that stuff off and just use `q chat` for everything, which actually works very well in my experience.
