Hello! What is the connection with AWS? Do you work for AWS? Is this going to be some official AWS product, backed by Amazon Q or Bedrock?
Re:AWS launches Kiro, its Cursor clone by NathanKP on Monday July 14, 2025 @12:14PM (#44561873)
Kiro is created by an AWS team, and originates from AWS expertise. We are using Kiro internally as one of our recommended tools for development within AWS (and Amazon). So Kiro is an official AWS product, however, we are also keeping it slightly separated from the rest of core AWS.

For example, you can use Kiro without having any AWS account at all. Kiro has social login through Google and GitHub. Basically, Kiro is backed by AWS, but is it's own standalone product, and we hope to see it grow and appeal to a broader audience than just AWS customers.

Seems like social login isn't working for me on OSX. Just downloaded Kiro, clicked the Google option, allowed the app, and then get redirected back to http://localhost:3128/oauth/callback with an error "Error: AuthSSOServer: missing state".

Thanks for the report! I'll keep an eye on it. So far we aren't seeing any other reported issues, so it's possible that a browser extension, or something else in your setup is messing with the SSO flow.

Redirect back to localhost:3128 is normal, that's where Kiro is watching for a callback, but the missing state is not normal. Something may have stripped the info out of the callback before it occurred, which is why I suspect an extension in your browser.

Will keep an eye on this though!

It is also not working for me, this opens http://localhost:3128/oauth/callback?code=... but on Kiro interface I see "There was an error signing you in. Please try again"

FWIW Github login worked, only extensions I run is a password manager and Kagi.

After you said that google login didn't work, since I had also used github login, I wanted to tell that github login had worked for me, but you beat me to it!

I think Auth can be a bit of mess, but yes Its still absolutely great that I can just login with github and it just works, I am trying out Kiro right as we speak!

Thanks for the additional info!

For me even Github doesnt work

Same error as for Google

Re:AWS launches Kiro, its Cursor clone by DividableMiddle on Monday July 14, 2025 @04:49PM (#44565092)
Same error as the others. Looks like auth is successful in popup window: "You can close this window".

Then in Kiro I see "There was an error signing you in. Please try again.".

FWIW, I've tried GitHub & Google, in different browsers, on different networks.

For me, it was Little Snitch blocking the request..

isn't 3128 port is mostly used by proxies (squid and alike)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbe...

I personally run my proxy there and overall I'd take some > 10000 port for such kind of stuff

Can you please report an issue on our GitHub Issue tracker: https://github.com/kirodotdev/Kiro/issues?

Or can you join the Discord and message me directly @swaminator

This is a really interesting setup. If it's not too forward to ask, how is the team structured in terms of incentives? Is Kiro fully within the AMZN comp / RSUs structure, or does it operate more like a spinout with potential for more direct upside? I’m always curious how teams balance the tradeoff between the support of a big org vs having more control over your fate by going fully independent.

this kinda speak about how anti-DX AWS is
