thats how Amazon worked its MCP setup - got everything onto oauth tokens, and then the harness knows how to to access the token to get permissions to whatever the user has.

the bad part is setting separate permissions for different user tokens

The auth mess is part of why I don't use the AWS MCP

Also because the aws cli works better, just add an instruction like this to your agents file:

> When performing aws cli commands in terminal always use the `--no-cli-pager` flag to avoid interactive pagination.
