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.

That's for the shell auto-complete feature which I turn off.

It's not that simple: https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues/844

This seems to only be impacting if you have the shell integration configured no?

I don't have the hooks installed and the integration is disabled. I'm only using the q command for agentic coding, not for shell auto-complete.
