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

01

Monitoring Live Support

A Customer Success Manager can list all active chat rooms to get an immediate overview of which support sessions are ongoing.

02

Testing Chat Flows

A Developer can send a test message to a specific room and verify the AI response, ensuring the messaging logic works before deployment.

03

Campaign Lead Tracking

A Marketing Team can list all leads, filtering by date, to identify prospects who interacted with the chat bot last month.

04

System Integration

A Developer can create a webhook subscription to ensure that every time a new lead is captured, it automatically triggers a notification in a separate CRM.

Automate a task

Put AskHandle to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

AskHandle 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 AskHandle 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. 18 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 AskHandle, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with AskHandle. 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 AskHandle owners hand off.

This MCP is built for teams that manage high volumes of customer interactions and need deep visibility into their chat data. Customer Success Managers use it to monitor active rooms and review lead data without switching capabilities. Developers use it to test messaging logic and manage webhooks directly from their code editor. Marketing teams use it to export and analyze lead lists captured through AI chat interactions for campaign follow-ups.

  • 01

    Customer Success Managers

    Monitor active chat rooms and review lead data without leaving your workspace.

  • 02

    Developers

    Test messaging logic and manage webhook subscriptions directly from your code editor.

  • 03

    Marketing Teams

    Export and analyze lead lists captured through AI chat interactions for campaign follow-ups.

FAQ

Questions AskHandle owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need to manually manage my API keys?

    No. You enter your AskHandle API Key once when subscribing to this MCP. Vinkius handles the secure management and passing of that key to your AI client.

  • 02

    Can I only read data, or can I write to the system?

    You can do both. The MCP provides capabilities to read data (like list_leads) and write data (like create_lead or update_room), giving your agent full control over your chat infrastructure.

  • 03

    What is the difference between listing leads and getting a lead?

    Using list_leads gives you a summary of many leads, showing basic info like names and emails. Using get_lead retrieves all the detailed metadata for one specific lead record.

  • 04

    How does the webhook automation work?

    You use the MCP to create a webhook subscription, specifying what event you want to track (e.g., a new message). When that event happens, the webhook triggers an external workflow you define.

  • 05

    Does this MCP support multiple chat environments?

    Yes. You can use the capabilities to manage multiple chat rooms, allowing you to organize and contextually separate different conversation sessions.

  • 06

    Can I send a message to a specific room and get an AI response?

    Yes! Use the create_message capability. You can provide the message body and the room_uuid to interact with a specific conversation session.

  • 07

    How do I filter leads by date?

    You can use the list_leads capability with the optional start_date and end_date parameters (formatted as YYYY-MM-DD) to retrieve leads from a specific period.

  • 08

    Is it possible to automate notifications for new leads?

    Absolutely. Use the create_webhook capability to subscribe to the lead.added event and point it to your target URL for real-time notifications.
