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.

    Urban Foresters

    Use the agent to monitor tree health and maintenance schedules.

  • 02

    Researchers

    Query the registry to gather data on species distribution and storm impacts.

  • 03

    Check the status and inspection history of trees located near their properties.

FAQ

Questions City of Amsterdam owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need an API key to use this MCP?

    No, this MCP provides keyless access to Amsterdam's open data platform.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this?

    You can use this MCP with any compatible client, such as Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

  • 03

    Can I find specific tree locations?

    Yes, the search capabilities provide point geometry and location details for trees in the registry.

  • 04

    Does this include storm damage data?

    Yes, you can list reports for specific storms like Conall, Lothar, or Kyrill.

  • 05

    What kind of tree data is available?

    The registry includes species, height, planting year, owner, and safety inspection history.

  • 06

    Do I need an API key?

    No. The bomen v2 service of the city's DSO open-data platform is public (OPENBAAR) and works with zero credentials.

  • 07

    What is in a tree record?

    Each stamgegevens record carries the species name, height class, trunk diameter class, planting year, owner and manager, where the tree stands, its protection status and a point location in EPSG:28999 (RD New).

  • 08

    Can I check whether a specific tree was inspected?

    Yes. Pass the tree id to list_safety_inspections to see its inspection history (type, organisation, date, pruning method). The same id works with list_tree_removal_records to check felling/replanting decisions.

  • 09

    Which storms have damage reports?

    Storm damage reports are registered under named storms such as Conall (2024/25). Filter list_storm_reports by the storm name, or by active=true to see damage from a storm currently in progress.
