CAPABILITY STATEMENT / FORT WORTH, TEXAS

It all starts with source data.

We start with your data, design the network and platform, and build useful AI on a sound systems foundation. Based in Fort Worth.

Source data and the systems built on it On-premises or cloud infrastructure supports a source-data tier shown as a database cylinder, with platform systems, scale and services above it, all surrounded by a dashed network boundary.

Read from the bottom up: on-premises or cloud infrastructure supports the source-data tier; platform systems, scale and services sit above it. A network boundary surrounds the stack, with security, testing and independent review across every layer.

What we can build with you.

Six capabilities. One engineering partner.

Custom MCP & agent tools

Custom MCP servers and tools connect internal AI agents to proprietary APIs, legacy databases and niche datasets, with scoped permissions, audit trails and integration tests.

Deliverables: Tool contracts, scoped permissions, audit trails and integration tests.

Knowledge bases & data foundations

Turn documents, records and domain expertise into knowledge bases, semantic models and retrieval pipelines with source citations, access controls and evaluations against real questions.

Deliverables: A maintained corpus, traceable retrieval and evaluations against real questions.

Private networking & testing

Design private connectivity, identity-aware access and segmented networks, with isolated sandboxes and repeatable test environments for agents, integrations and cloud systems.

Deliverables: Access maps, repeatable test environments and a documented rollout plan.

Cyber defense & cloud security posture

Review and harden cloud configuration, identity, secrets, exposed services and dependencies. Prioritize cyber defense improvements, validate fixes and strengthen logging and recovery readiness.

Deliverables: A prioritized risk register, hardening work and remediation evidence.

Product engineering & AI coding support

Build internal tools, APIs and customer-facing software. Support your engineers with AI coding workflows, code review, tests, CI/CD, debugging and production readiness.

Deliverables: Working software, reviewed changes, meaningful tests and an operational handoff.

Independent architecture & codebase reviews

Independently review third-party architecture, vendor-built codebases and cloud systems for security, reliability, performance, maintainability and cost. Deliver evidence-backed findings and a practical roadmap.

Deliverables: An architecture map, evidence-backed findings and a practical improvement roadmap.

Discuss your project

A PRACTICAL STARTING POINT

Start with one workflow, one system or one review.

Bring an internal agent that needs a reliable data source, a knowledge base that needs citations, a cloud environment that needs a security review, or a product that needs engineering support. We agree on the outcome, access boundaries and acceptance checks, then build or review against that scope.

Explore Cyber Lab engineering engagements for hands-on delivery, or Fractional CTO support for ongoing technical direction. For example, a Fort Worth operations team could start with an agent that retrieves approved procedures and job records from its existing systems.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before we build.

What does Vaquero Labs do in Fort Worth?

Vaquero Labs is a Fort Worth, Texas cyber lab offering custom MCP and agent tools, knowledge base development, private networking and testing, cyber defense and cloud security posture work, product engineering, AI coding support and independent technical reviews. We serve teams across Fort Worth, Tarrant County and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Can you connect internal AI agents to custom or niche data sources?

Yes. We build custom MCP servers and tools for internal agents that need proprietary APIs, legacy systems, private databases, documents or specialized industry data. Each engagement defines the permitted data, tool actions, authentication, audit trail and tests before rollout.

Can our knowledge base and agent tools stay private?

We design around your access and hosting requirements, including private networks, scoped identities and isolated testing. We agree which systems and model providers may process each data source, then validate the access boundaries and retrieval behavior.

Can you review software or cloud infrastructure built by another vendor?

Yes. We provide independent architecture, codebase and cloud systems reviews. The output includes evidence-backed findings, prioritized risks and recommended fixes; implementation support can be scoped alongside your team or vendor.

How do we start, and what does an engagement cost?

Send a high-level overview to contact@vaqueros.dev. Retainers start at $5,000 a month. Defined projects start at $15,000 over at least three months; project hours are $250 per hour. Scope, access requirements and pricing are confirmed in a proposal after a fit call.
