How does this MCP help with AWS IAM limits?

It allows your agent to check if an entity has too many policies or if a policy is too large in bytes.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

Does it simulate real AWS access decisions?

Yes, the simulate_access capability uses the standard IAM evaluation hierarchy to predict outcomes.

What is the limit for managed policies on a role?

Users and roles are typically restricted to a maximum of 10 managed policies.

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP so it is ready to use as soon as you connect.

How do I check if my IAM policy is too large?

You can use the analyze_policy_structure capability to calculate the exact byte size of your policy statements and check for limit violations.

Can this capability simulate permission denials?

Yes, the simulate_access capability evaluates the IAM hierarchy, including explicit denies, to determine if an action is allowed or denied.

What are the limits for managed policies?

Managed policies have a character limit of 6144. You can use check_entity_limits to see if you have reached the maximum number of attached policies for your specific entity 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.

Curated set · 4 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through IAM Policy Complexity Calculator.

01
Check entity limits
This capability checks if an IAM entity like a user or role has already hit the maximum number of allowed managed or inline policies.
02
Analyze policy structure
Use this to get the exact byte size of an IAM policy and confirm it doesn't break character limits.
03
Audit account capacity
This capability monitors your AWS account to see if you are getting close to the total limit for managed policies.
04
Simulate access
This capability runs a simulation of an access request to see if it will be allowed or denied based on IAM evaluation logic.

Real work

What teams actually run

Pre-deployment Validation

Check the byte size of a new policy before you try to attach it to a role.

Troubleshooting Denials

Simulate an access request to find out why a specific user is being blocked.

Quota Management

Audit your account to see how many more managed policies you can add before hitting limits.

Permission Cleanup

Identify roles that have reached their maximum policy count to plan for policy consolidation.

One connector, every AI

IAM Policy Complexity 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 IAM Policy Complexity 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. 4 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 IAM Policy Complexity Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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