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.

How Vinkius works: one connection, every tool, in any AI
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.

FAQ

Questions City of Amsterdam owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need an API key for this data?

    No. This MCP uses the city's open-data platform, so no individual API key is required.

  • 02

    How is the data sourced?

    All data comes directly from the official City of Amsterdam DSO open-data platform.

  • 03

    Which AI clients can use this?

    Any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf can use this once connected via Vinkius.

  • 04

    Can I check specific vehicle restrictions?

    Yes. The milieu zones capability allows you to check restrictions for vans, mopeds, taxis, buses, and trucks.

  • 05

    Does this include zero-emission zones?

    Yes. The MCP includes capabilities to list both emission zones and zero-emission zones.

  • 06

    Do I need an API key?

    No. The parkeerzones, parkeervakken, milieuzones, uitstootvrije_zones and touringcars services of the city's DSO open-data platform are public (OPENBAAR) and work without credentials.

  • 07

    What are the coordinates in?

    All geometries are in EPSG:28999 (RD New, the Dutch national coordinate system, metres). Convert to WGS84 latitude/longitude before plotting on most world maps.

  • 08

    Can I check whether my street has public parking bays?

    Yes. list_parking_bays filters by street name (straatnaam) or neighbourhood code (buurtcode) and returns each bay's type (e.g. Langs = parallel parking), fiscal/non-fiscal category and count.

  • 09

    What vehicle classes does the emission zone capability cover?

    list_milieu_zones covers bestelbus (light delivery vans), bromensnorfiets (mopeds), taxi, touringcar (tour buses) and vrachtauto (trucks). list_zero_emission_zones covers vracht_en_bestelauto (delivery trucks/vans) and brom_en_snorfiets (mopeds/scooters).
