Perplexity

Clean raw time-series directly inside Claude Desktop

The `calculate_exponential_smoothing` tool runs locally inside your Claude Desktop app to strip noise from your raw metrics. You pass your raw historical arrays directly to the model, which calculates weighted moving averages without sending data to external cloud-based training pipelines. Stdio transport lets the server execute as a local subprocess on your machine. This means your raw CSV files and local database metrics get cleaned up and processed instantly without leaving your workstation.

Set your smoothing factor via Claude Web

The `calculate_exponential_smoothing` tool handles dynamic alpha parameters to let you control how fast your forecast reacts to recent changes. When using Claude Web, you paste the Vinkius remote MCP server URL into your integrations settings to run this analysis on any device. Your agent uses the remote endpoint to test different alpha values from 0.1 to 0.9. It renders the resulting smoothed datasets right inside your browser window, letting you compare stable baseline projections against reactive trend-chasing forecasts.

Run local deterministic forecasts with this MCP Server

The `calculate_exponential_smoothing` tool applies simple Holt-Winters mathematical formulas to generate predictable, repeatable demand curves. Because the calculations are deterministic, your Claude Desktop client gets identical mathematical outputs every time you run the same inputs. This MCP server runs inside a secure V8 Isolate Sandbox hosted by Vinkius, ensuring your calculations execute with zero-trust isolation. You get a single endpoint token that handles the connection, allowing you to bypass complex API setups while keeping your forecasting logic isolated.

Setup guide

Set up Exponential Smoothing Engine MCP in Claude Web or Desktop

1

Open Claude Settings

Go to claude.ai, click your profile icon, then navigate to Customize → Connectors.
2

Add Custom Connector

Click the "+" button and select Add custom connector. Paste your Vinkius endpoint URL: https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. For OAuth-protected servers, expand Advanced settings to add credentials.
3

Start a conversation

Open a new chat. The Exponential Smoothing Engine MCP tools are available immediately — no restart needed.

Endpoint URL

https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp

No configuration file needed — paste the URL directly in the Claude web interface.

Available on Free (1 connector), Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans.

Prerequisites

Claude Desktop installed (macOS or Windows)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open Claude Desktop Settings

Click the menu icon at the top-left corner, go to Settings → Developer → Edit Config. This opens claude_desktop_config.json in your default text editor.
2

Paste the Exponential Smoothing Engine MCP configuration

Copy the JSON snippet on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Restart Claude Desktop

Close and reopen the application. Claude needs a full restart to load new MCPs — refreshing a conversation is not enough.
4

Verify the connection

Open a new conversation. Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the message input. You should see tools listed under exponential-smoothing-engine-mcp.

Common questions about Exponential Smoothing Engine MCP in Claude Desktop

Open your `claude_desktop_config.json` file and add the server configuration under the `mcpServers` key. Use the command and arguments provided by Vinkius to run the tool via local stdio transport. Restart your app, and you will see the forecasting tool available in your chat input.

Yes, you can connect it via the Claude Web interface instead of the desktop app. Go to your settings, add a custom connector, and paste your Vinkius HTTPS endpoint. This lets you run the forecasting tool on any browser-enabled device without managing local config files.

The tool requires a numeric data array and a smoothing factor, known as alpha, between 0 and 1. Your Claude Desktop client automatically extracts these parameters from your chat prompt or uploaded files to run the mathematical calculations.

Simple smoothing requires zero training time and runs in milliseconds on standard hardware. It avoids the overfitting issues common in complex models, giving you a stable, deterministic baseline for your baseline inventory trends.

Your numeric time-series arrays are processed inside an ephemeral, zero-trust V8 Isolate Sandbox. Vinkius executes the calculations in isolated memory spaces that self-destruct immediately after returning the smoothed data, ensuring your raw metrics are never stored or exposed to third parties.
