What this skill does

/terraform-setup, Guided deployment of the MCP Gateway & Registry to AWS via Terraform:

• Confirms where you are running from (EC2 instance vs. local laptop) and what that means for AWS credentials
• Confirms the AWS IAM permissions the deployment requires are in place
• Clones the MCP Gateway & Registry repository
• Bootstraps the toolchain: uv + uv sync (which provides the AWS CLI in the project venv), Terraform, and supporting tools
• Helps you configure terraform/aws-ecs/terraform.tfvars
• Runs terraform apply (a single apply in CloudFront Only mode; the two-stage certs-first flow is only needed for custom-domain mode)
• Runs the automated post-deployment setup and registers the AWS KB MCP server (the only server this skill registers)
• Ends with a complete summary of every step taken

By default the three core services (registry, auth-server, mcpgw) pull pre-built images from public ECR, so no image build step is required.
