What kind of data does this MCP need to run?

The MCP requires core metrics related to your usage model, such as storage capacity, billing leakage rates, and the cost of your current infrastructure setup. The prompt examples show how to structure these inputs.

Can this MCP calculate the ROI for me?

Yes. By combining inputs for infrastructure overhead, revenue gain, and fraud mitigation, the MCP allows you to determine the overall Return on Investment (ROI) of your metering system.

Is this for physical utility meters or digital usage?

This MCP is designed for usage-based billing models, whether those are derived from physical infrastructure or digital data streams. It focuses on the financial implications of the metering process itself.

Do I need to write code to use these capabilities?

No. You connect the MCP to your AI client, and then you simply prompt the AI in natural language. The AI handles calling the correct capability for you.

Does it only calculate costs, or can it calculate gains too?

It does both. You can calculate the costs using calculate_infrastructure_overhead and estimate the gains using estimate_billing_accuracy_gain and evaluate_fraud_mitigation_value.

How do I calculate the cost of my metering setup?

You can use the calculate_infrastructure_overhead capability, providing the granularity level, expected storage volume, and real-time processing intensity.

Can this capability help reduce revenue leakage?

Yes, the estimate_billing_accuracy_gain capability calculates the potential financial value of improving precision to capture unmetered usage.

How is the ROI calculated?

The analyze_economic_efficiency capability calculates ROI by comparing the net economic benefit (accuracy gains plus fraud savings) against the infrastructure cost.

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.

Real work

What teams actually run

Cloud Service Billing

A cloud provider uses this MCP to calculate the cost of adding new storage tiers, ensuring the infrastructure investment is justified by potential revenue gains.

Utility Metering Upgrades

A utility company uses it to model the savings achieved by upgrading old meters, focusing on reduced fraud and improved billing accuracy.

SaaS Usage Tracking

A SaaS company uses this to prove that investing in granular usage tracking pays for itself by reducing customer churn due to billing disputes.

Telecommunications Billing

A telecom firm uses it to evaluate the economic benefit of implementing advanced usage monitoring to detect and mitigate unauthorized usage.

One connector, every AI

Usage Metering Analytics 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 Usage Metering Analytics 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 Usage Metering Analytics, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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