Does this MCP account for failure rates?

Yes. It calculates the reliability overhead, which is the additional cost you incur because the workflow might fail and need to retry. This is crucial for accurate cost modeling.

What kind of inputs does it need?

You need to provide specific metrics like the number of steps, the cost per LLM call, the capability cost, and the expected failure probability.

Can I use this for profitability analysis?

Absolutely. You can use the calculate commercial margin capability to compare your total expected cost against a specific market price to see your gross margin.

Is this just for simple API calls?

No. This MCP is designed for complex, autonomous agentic workflows. It models the entire economic lifecycle, not just the initial API request.

How does this capability account for agent failures?

The calculate_reliability_overhead capability uses the provided failure rate to estimate the additional cost incurred by retry loops required to reach a successful task completion.

What is included in the base cost calculation?

The calculate_base_task_cost capability calculates the cumulative cost of LLM calls and capability executions across all steps, adjusted by the reasoning depth.

Can I determine if my agent workflow is profitable?

Yes, use calculate_commercial_margin to compare the total expected cost against your target price per task to find the gross margin and profitability status.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Provides a high-level summary of the economic efficiency of the agent's design

Real work

What teams actually run

Pricing a New Agent Feature

Before launching a new AI feature, run the cost calculator to ensure the expected operational cost leaves enough room for profit.

Optimizing Workflow Reliability

If your agent fails often, use the reliability overhead capability to quantify exactly how much that failure rate is costing you.

Comparing AI Architectures

When deciding between two different agent designs, run both through the efficiency metrics capability to see which is cheaper to run.

Forecasting Operational Costs

Use this to predict the monthly cost of a high-volume agent workflow, factoring in expected failure rates.

One connector, every AI

AI Agentic Workflow Cost works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put AI Agentic Workflow Cost to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of AI Agentic Workflow Cost, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with AI Agentic Workflow Cost. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
