Amazon Inspector MCP Server Integration
Amazon Inspector is a sophisticated, automated security assessment service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) designed to enhance the security and compliance posture of applications deployed on AWS. Its core capability lies in conducting deep vulnerability scans and configuration audits against AWS resource groups, which can include Amazon EC2 instances, container images in Amazon ECR, and functions in AWS Lambda. The service analyzes software vulnerabilities, unintended network exposure, and deviations from security best practices by comparing resource configurations against a continuously updated database of security rules and common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). Typical enterprise use cases include continuous security monitoring for production environments, pre-deployment vulnerability scanning in CI/CD pipelines, and automated compliance reporting for standards like CIS Benchmarks or AWS Foundational Security Best Practices. For developers and DevOps teams, it provides actionable findings with prioritized remediation guidance, shifting security left and enabling proactive risk management without manual inspection overhead.
Technical Integration & Multi-Client Support
The Amazon Inspector MCP Integration translates REST paths, operational endpoints, and tool schemas into standardized Model Context Protocol JSON-RPC 2.0 messages. This allows AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, VS Code (Cline/Roo Code), and Zed Editor to run tool queries and execute functions seamlessly.
Add stdio configuration block to claude_desktop_config.json.
Configure workspace root at .cursor/mcp.json or Settings -> MCP.
Insert server JSON payload into cline_mcp_settings.json.

DigitalOcean API MCP
The DigitalOcean API is a comprehensive, RESTful interface provided by DigitalOcean, a leading cloud infrastructure provider focused on simplifying cloud computing for developers, startups, and enterprises. It serves as the programmatic backbone for managing the entire DigitalOcean ecosystem, enabling users to provision, configure, and control cloud resources such as Droplets (virtual private servers), Kubernetes clusters, managed databases, networks, storage volumes, and application platforms. Core capabilities include full lifecycle management of these resources, from creation and scaling to monitoring and deletion, mirroring the functionality available in the DigitalOcean control panel. Its primary use cases range from automating infrastructure setup for CI/CD pipelines and enabling infrastructure-as-code practices to supporting dynamic application scaling and resource optimization for SaaS products, e-commerce sites, and development environments. The API is designed for both developers seeking to automate their cloud operations and businesses that require programmable, scalable cloud infrastructure without the complexity of larger hyperscale providers.
