Does this MCP calculate cost?

No, this MCP focuses purely on performance metrics. It calculates IOPS, throughput, and burst depletion time, but it does not provide cost estimates for the volume.

What volume types can I check?

The MCP supports various AWS volume types, including gp2, gp3, io1, io2, st1, and sc1. You specify the type when asking for the calculation.

Is this for real-time monitoring?

No. This MCP is a planning and calculation capability. It determines theoretical maximums and predicted depletion rates based on volume specifications, not live, real-time monitoring data.

What if my configuration is invalid?

If you use the validation capability and your setup violates AWS service limits, the MCP will tell you exactly which configuration element is invalid and why.

Which volume types are supported?

The calculator supports gp2, gp3, io1, io2, st1, and sc1 volume types.

How do I calculate burst depletion?

Use the estimate_burst_depletion capability by providing the volume type, size, and the sustained workload IOPS or throughput.

Can I validate my configuration against AWS limits?

Yes, use the validate_volume_configuration capability to check if your provisioned IOPS or throughput exceeds the maximum allowed for your chosen volume type.

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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through AWS EBS Calculator.

01
Calculate performance metrics
Determines the baseline and maximum possible IOPS and throughput for a specific volume configuration
02
Estimate burst depletion
Calculates how long a volume can sustain a specific workload before exhausting its burst credits
03
Validate volume configuration
Checks if a proposed volume configuration is valid according to AWS service limits

Real work

What teams actually run

Database Design

You need to provision a database volume. Use the MCP to calculate the required IOPS and throughput for the specific workload profile.

Stress Testing Simulation

Before launch, you run a simulation to see how long a volume can handle peak traffic, using the burst depletion capability.

Migration Planning

When moving from an old volume type to a new one, you check the performance metrics to ensure the new setup meets or exceeds old performance levels.

Cost Optimization

You use the calculator to determine the minimum required performance, preventing you from paying for unused capacity.

One connector, every AI

AWS EBS 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 EBS 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.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 3 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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