AWS API Gateway Throttling Calculator

AWS API Gateway Throttling Calculator MCP Connector for Claude

Calculate AWS API Gateway RPS, burst capacity, quotas, and operational limits.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides deterministic calculations for AWS API Gateway constraints. It helps engineers predict throttling behavior and manage service limits for both REST and HTTP APIs. Use calculate_throttling_limits to determine allowed RPS and burst capacity based on the token bucket algorithm. Use calculate_quota_usage to check if sustained traffic will exceed daily, weekly, or monthly limits. You can also use get_operational_constraints to retrieve payload size limits and integration timeouts, or simulate_canary_traffic to plan traffic splitting for new deployments.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_throttling_limits

Determines the RPS and burst capacity for a specific API stage

simulate_canary_traffic

Calculates the distribution of traffic between a production environment and a canary environment

get_operational_constraints

Returns the fixed technical limits for the selected API type

calculate_quota_usage

Evaluates if a user's planned request volume will exceed defined time-based quotas

What are the throttling limits and burst capacity for a REST API with 5000 RPS?

For a REST API with 5000 RPS, the allowed RPS is 10,000 and the burst capacity is 20,000.

Will 500 RPS exceed a daily quota of 1,000,000 requests?

No, 500 RPS results in 43,200,000 requests per day, which exceeds the 1,000,000 daily quota.

Calculate the traffic split for a 1000 RPS total volume with a 10% canary deployment.

The traffic split will be 900 RPS for production and 100 RPS for the canary stage.

Burst capacity is calculated as exactly twice the allowed RPS, following the token bucket algorithm used by AWS.
