AWS WAFV2 MCP Server Integration
AWS WAFV2, the Web Application Firewall version 2, is the advanced, regionalized iteration of Amazon Web Services' managed service designed to protect web applications and APIs from common web exploits and bots that may affect availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. Introduced in late 2019, this API version represents a significant evolution, introducing support for both regional and CloudFront (global) distributions within a single, unified management model. The core capabilities of AWS WAFV2 are articulated through a comprehensive set of endpoints that enable programmatic creation, configuration, and management of its foundational components. These include IP Sets for blocking or allowing traffic from specific addresses, Regex Pattern Sets for identifying malicious patterns in HTTP requests, and Rule Groups for creating reusable, custom rule collections. Central to the service is the Web ACL (Access Control List), a critical security container that holds a collection of rules and assigns a default action (Allow or Block) for requests that don't match any rule. Additional endpoints facilitate the association of a Web ACL with protected AWS resources like Application Load Balancers, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon CloudFront, and AWS AppSync. The API also supports granular logging configuration to services like Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, detailed capacity checking for rule evaluation prior to deployment, and the creation of API keys for integrating third-party data sources into rules.
Technical Integration & Multi-Client Support
The AWS WAFV2 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.
