What are the six pillars this MCP evaluates?

It evaluates your AWS workload against six foundational pillars: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Sustainability.

Is this just a simple checklist?

No. It's a deterministic scoring engine. It provides a precise score and analyzes risk density, giving you a deeper, quantitative assessment than a simple checklist.

Can I see if my risk is improving?

Yes. You can use the risk trend capability to analyze changes in your risk profile over multiple assessment periods, showing if your security posture is improving or declining.

Does it help with general cloud maturity?

Yes. It provides a clear score and uses the generate improvement plan capability to build a prioritized roadmap for reaching higher levels of cloud maturity.

Does it support different types of workloads?

It does. You can use the evaluate workload alignment capability to calculate how well your setup adheres to specific architectural patterns, like SaaS, HPC, or IoT.

How is the pillar score calculated?

The pillar score is the percentage of questions within that pillar that do not have a High risk level.

What is a 'Critical' status?

A pillar is flagged as Critical if its score is below 50 or if it contains more than 5 High risk issues.

Can I use specialized lenses like SaaS or IoT?

Yes, you can use evaluate_workload_alignment with specific lens types like SaaS, HPC, or IoT to get specialized scoring.

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

Preparing for an Audit

Before an audit, run a full assessment to score all six pillars and generate a remediation plan for any gaps.

New Service Launch

When launching a new service, use the MCP to evaluate its alignment against specific workload patterns (like HPC) before going live.

Cost Optimization Review

Run the pillar metrics specifically for Cost Optimization to identify immediate savings opportunities in your current setup.

Post-Incident Review

After a major incident, use the risk trend capability to quantify how the event impacted your reliability score.

One connector, every AI

AWS Well-Architected 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 Well-Architected 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 Well-Architected Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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