Yes. The Free plan includes 1,000 requests a month at 100 requests a minute, no credit card. Amazon Simple Queue Service itself also needs your own key from amazonaws.com.

### Can AI agents use the Amazon Simple Queue Service API?
Yes. Add the Apizie MCP server (https://www.apizie.tech/mcp) to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code, then ask in plain language. The agent calls run_scraper with project key cloud:amazonaws-sqs.

### What is the status of the Amazon Simple Queue Service API?
