What kind of data does this MCP calculate?

This MCP calculates deterministic sizing metrics for AWS MSK clusters. It determines the required partition count, total storage needs based on retention, and validates network throughput against AWS instance limits.

Does this help me choose the right AWS instance?

Yes. You can use the MCP to check if a proposed partition count is physically supported by specific AWS MSK instance types, like kafka.m5.large. It prevents you from deploying a cluster that is capacity-limited.

Is this just a guide, or does it give hard numbers?

It provides hard, deterministic numbers. You input your message rate and retention time, and the MCP outputs the exact partition count and storage size you need to plan for.

What if my message rate changes?

You simply update the message rate in your prompt. The MCP will recalculate the necessary partitions and storage requirements based on the new throughput.

How does this capability calculate partition counts?

The capability calculates the partition count per broker by dividing the required message rate by the 100 MB/s throughput threshold per partition.

What AWS MSK instances are supported?

The calculator supports common MSK instance types, including kafka.m5.large and kafka.m5.4xlarge, to validate partition limits.

Can I check if my cluster will exceed network limits?

Yes, by using calculate_network_and_limits, you can determine if the per-broker network throughput exceeds the 10 Gbps ceiling.

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.

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through AWS MSK Calculator.

01
Calculate network and limits
Analyzes network throughput requirements and validates cluster-wide architectural limits
02
Calculate partition and storage needs
Determines foundational scaling requirements (partitions and storage) based on throughput and time
03
Evaluate broker capacity
Checks if the proposed partition count is physically supported by the chosen AWS MSK instance types

Real work

What teams actually run

New Topic Deployment

A team is launching a new event stream. You use this MCP to calculate the initial partition count and storage needs before writing a single line of code.

Scaling Up Capacity

Your message volume is increasing by 50%. You run the calculator to determine the exact increase in partitions and storage required to handle the new load.

Instance Type Review

You are considering moving from one AWS instance type to another. You use this MCP to ensure the new hardware can support the current partition count.

Network Bottleneck Check

You suspect your cluster might be hitting a network limit. You run the network capability to confirm the throughput ceiling for your current configuration.

One connector, every AI

AWS MSK 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 MSK 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 MSK Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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