## Description

Networking math is tedious and prone to small, expensive mistakes. When you're trying to carve out a new subnet or verify if a specific IP falls within a designated range, doing the bitwise math by hand or using a web calculator is a distraction from actual engineering. This MCP changes that by giving your AI client the ability to handle complex IPv4 and IPv6 calculations instantly. Instead of you manually calculating CIDR masks or counting usable host ranges, your agent does the heavy lifting. You can ask it to define the boundaries of a network, check if an IP is part of a specific subnet, or figure out exactly how many hosts a block can support. It's like giving your agent a high-precision networking calculator that lives right inside your terminal or IDE. By connecting through Vinkius, you get a reliable way to automate network planning and troubleshooting directly through your existing AI-powered workflows.

## Tools

### calculate_subnet_details
Calculates the network address, broadcast address, and host range for a given IP and CIDR mask. This is essential for defining network boundaries.

### check_ip_membership
Verifies if a specific IP address is contained within a defined subnet. It's a quick way to validate IP assignments.

### get_host_capacity_stats
Calculates the total and usable host capacity of a subnet. Use this to plan for future device growth.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the subnet details for 192.168.1.0/24?
```

**Response:** 
```
For the **192.168.1.0/24** subnet, here are the details:

| Property | Value |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Network Address** | 192.168.1.0 |
| **Broadcast Address** | 192.168.1.255 |
| **Usable Host Range** | 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254 |
| **Total Hosts** | 256 |
| **Usable Hosts** | 254 |
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is 10.0.0.5 in the 10.0.0.0/8 subnet?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, **10.0.0.5** is a member of the **10.0.0.0/8** subnet.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many hosts can I fit in a /27 IPv4 network?
```

**Response:** 
```
A **/27** IPv4 network provides the following capacity:

* **Total Addresses:** 32
* **Usable Host Addresses:** 30

(Note: 2 addresses are reserved for the network and broadcast addresses.)
```

## Capabilities

### Calculate network boundaries
Find the exact network address, broadcast address, and host ranges for any CIDR block.

### Verify IP membership
Check if a specific IPv4 or IPv6 address belongs to a defined subnet.

### Audit host capacity
Determine the total and usable number of host addresses available in a network segment.

### Handle IPv4 and IPv6
Perform bitwise operations across both standard internet protocols.

### Automate subnet planning
Generate precise network layouts for new infrastructure deployments.

## Use Cases

### Cloud VPC Provisioning
A DevOps engineer needs to split a large CIDR block into smaller subnets for different tiers; the agent calculates the exact ranges.

### Troubleshooting Connectivity
A sysadmin needs to know if a client IP is actually part of the subnet they are troubleshooting; the agent verifies membership instantly.

### Capacity Planning
An engineer needs to know if a /27 subnet has enough room for 30 new devices; the agent provides the usable host count.

### Network Auditing
A security professional needs to verify that a specific range of IPs is correctly bounded within a defined network segment.

## Benefits

- Eliminate manual bitwise math errors by letting your agent handle the heavy lifting.
- Speed up network design with instant host capacity checks using get_host_capacity_stats.
- Validate IP assignments instantly with check_ip_membership to prevent configuration errors.
- Get complete network maps including broadcast and network addresses via calculate_subnet_details.
- Support both IPv4 and IPv6 workflows in a single, unified interface.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you stop doing manual subnet math and start letting your agent handle the bitwise logic.

1. Connect the MCP to your AI client via the Vinkius dashboard.
2. Provide a natural language request like a subnet mask or an IP address.
3. Receive precise, bitwise-calculated networking data immediately.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How can I use the IP Address & Subnet Calculator MCP for IPv6?**
The MCP supports both IPv4 and IPv6. You can provide any IPv6 address or CIDR block, and it will perform the bitwise calculations for you.

**Can the IP Address & Subnet Calculator MCP help with capacity planning?**
Yes. You can use it to find out exactly how many usable host addresses are available in any given subnet, making it easy to plan for new hardware or cloud resources.

**Does the IP Address & Subnet Calculator MCP work with my existing AI client?**
Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf, you can connect this tool and start using it immediately.

**How do I check if an IP is in a specific range using the IP Address & Subnet Calculator MCP?**
You can simply ask your agent to check the IP membership, and it will verify if that specific address falls within your defined subnet.

**Is the IP Address & Subnet Calculator MCP accurate for CIDR math?**
Yes. The tool performs precise bitwise operations to ensure that network boundaries, broadcast addresses, and host ranges are mathematically exact.
