What does this MCP calculate?

This MCP calculates three key areas of your AWS WAF setup: total rule capacity, rate-based rule limits, and rule complexity. It validates your entire configuration against AWS's mandatory operational constraints.

Can I use this to check my rule nesting?

Yes. The MCP uses the evaluate_rule_complexity capability to check if your rule's logical structure violates the maximum nesting depth or condition limits recommended by AWS.

Does this require AWS credentials?

No. This MCP is designed to take the configuration details you provide and run deterministic calculations against known AWS best practices, so it doesn't need live credentials.

What if my rate limit is too low?

If you run the analyze_rate_limiting capability and the threshold is too low, the MCP will tell you that it falls below the minimum required rate, helping you adjust it before deployment.

Is this for all types of firewalls?

No. This MCP is specifically built for AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) configurations and uses AWS-specific capacity and compliance rules.

How do I check if my WAF rule count is too high?

You can use the calculate_waf_capacity capability. It will return a list of capacity warnings if your planned number of rules or Web ACLs exceeds the recommended limits.

What is the minimum threshold for rate-based rules?

The minimum allowed threshold for rate-based rules in AWS WAF is 100 requests per 5-minute window. The analyze_rate_limiting capability will flag any value below this.

Can I use this to check rule nesting depth?

Yes, the evaluate_rule_complexity capability specifically checks if your nesting depth exceeds the recommended limit of 5 levels.

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 WAF Calculator.

01
Analyze rate limiting
Evaluates rate-based rule configurations against AWS minimum requirements and constraints
02
Calculate waf capacity
Calculates the total rule and resource capacity based on the number of Web ACLs and rule groups provided
03
Evaluate rule complexity
Checks if the logical structure of rules adheres to nesting and condition limits

Real work

What teams actually run

New WAF Deployment

You are setting up a brand new WAF. Use the MCP to calculate the total rule count and ensure your initial setup stays well below AWS capacity limits.

Rate Limit Adjustment

Traffic spikes are expected. Run the MCP to check if your current rate-based rules are set high enough to handle the expected volume.

Rule Overhaul Audit

Your team rewrote several complex rules. Use the MCP to check the nesting depth and condition count for every rule to prevent logical failures.

Compliance Check

Before an audit, you need proof that your WAF configuration adheres to best practices. The MCP provides the necessary validation reports.

One connector, every AI

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

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