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.

Curated set · 4 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through AI Gateway ROI.

  1. 01

    Estimate risk exposure

    This capability calculates the potential loss you prevent by using the gateway's failover and vendor abstraction features.

  2. 02

    Analyze savings efficiency

    It evaluates your optimization levers to show which specific feature, like caching or routing, provides the highest percentage of return.

  3. 03

    Calculate roi metrics

    Use this capability to get a full financial breakdown, determining the total ROI and the payback period for the gateway.

  4. 04

    Compare vendor strategies

    This helps you decide if a single-provider setup is enough, or if you need a gateway to manage multiple vendors.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Justifying Infrastructure Spend

You need to prove the $100k gateway purchase is worth it. Run the ROI calculation to show the payback period based on projected savings.

02

Vendor Selection

You're stuck between two major AI providers. Use the comparison capability to see if a multi-provider gateway setup saves more than sticking with one vendor.

03

Optimizing Cloud Spend

Your team suspects caching is the biggest money saver. Run the savings efficiency analysis to prove where the optimization dollars are.

04

Risk Management Planning

After a major outage, you need to quantify the risk reduction value of implementing a failover system.

One connector, every AI

AI Gateway ROI 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 Gateway ROI 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.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 4 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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

Who it's for

Built for the work AI Gateway ROI owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical leaders and finance analysts who need to justify major infrastructure spending. If you're responsible for proving the financial value of adopting AI services, this capability gives you the necessary metrics. It moves the conversation from 'if' to 'how much.'

  • 01

    CTO / VP of Engineering

    Use this to build the business case for adopting an AI gateway.

  • 02

    Finance Analyst

    Run detailed models to quantify cost-saving drivers and payback periods.

  • 03

    Solutions Architect

    Compare multi-provider strategies against single-provider limitations.

FAQ

Questions AI Gateway ROI owners ask.

  • 01

    Does this calculate all possible savings?

    The MCP provides capabilities to quantify specific savings drivers, such as routing, caching, and observability. You must provide the data points for the capability to calculate the total return.

  • 02

    Can I compare different AI vendors?

    Yes. The capability includes a function to compare vendor strategies, helping you decide if a multi-provider gateway is financially better than a single-provider setup.

  • 03

    What kind of data do I need to provide?

    You need financial metrics, including initial gateway costs, projected savings from specific optimizations, and estimated risk values from potential outages.

  • 04

    Is this capability just for ROI, or can it do more?

    It's designed to quantify the financial impact of AI gateways. You can also analyze savings efficiency and estimate the value of risk mitigation, which are related financial metrics.

  • 05

    Do I need to be a finance expert to use this?

    No. You just need to know the numbers—the costs, the savings, and the risk estimates. The MCP handles the complex financial modeling for you.

  • 06

    How do I calculate the payback period?

    You can use the calculate_roi_metrics capability. Provide the gateway cost and the various savings values, and it will return the number of months required to recover the initial investment.

  • 07

    What is the value of risk mitigation?

    The estimate_risk_exposure capability helps quantify this by looking at expected outage costs and the probability of provider downtime, factoring in the benefits of rapid failover.

  • 08

    Can I compare different provider strategies?

    Yes, the compare_vendor_strategies capability allows you to compare the annual costs of a single-provider setup against a gateway-enabled multi-provider setup, including risk mitigation value.
