Does this MCP handle redundancy requirements?

Yes. You specify your redundancy model, such as 1:1 or N:1. The MCP calculates the total connection count required to satisfy that redundancy goal.

What kind of constraints does it check?

It checks against AWS physical and logical constraints. This includes regional capacity, location limits, and VIF restrictions.

Is this for all cloud providers?

No. This MCP is specifically designed for AWS Direct Connect (DX) planning and calculations. It uses AWS-specific rules and limits.

Do I need to know the MTU beforehand?

No. You can ask the MCP to provide the MTU setting based on the connection type you are using, ensuring your packets are sized correctly.

How do I calculate the number of connections needed for my traffic?

You can use the calculate_connection_requirements capability. Provide your required traffic in Gbps, the number of regions, your redundancy model, and the connection speed to get a precise connection plan.

Can this capability check if I am exceeding AWS limits?

Yes. The validate_architectural_limits capability checks your plan against AWS constraints, including regional limits, location capacity, and VIF limits.

What is the difference between 1:1 and N:1 redundancy in the calculator?

1:1 redundancy doubles your connection count to ensure every active link has a standby. N:1 redundancy uses the base connection count required to meet your traffic threshold.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Multi-Region Expansion

You are connecting two separate AWS regions. The MCP calculates the total connections needed while maintaining a 1:1 redundancy model.

Data Center Link Planning

You are planning a new Direct Connect link from your corporate data center. The MCP verifies if your proposed connection count violates location limits.

Bandwidth Upgrade Assessment

You need to increase bandwidth from 5 Gbps to 20 Gbps. The MCP determines the necessary connection count and validates the capacity increase.

Troubleshooting MTU Issues

You suspect packet size issues. The MCP provides the specific MTU setting required for your connection type.

One connector, every AI

AWS Direct Connect Calculator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put AWS Direct Connect Calculator to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of AWS Direct Connect Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with AWS Direct Connect Calculator. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
