Le ChatBuilding your own app? The connector is yours to use.
You don't need a client to put Back-off Set Planner 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 Back-off Set Planner, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with Back-off Set Planner. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

- 02
Powerlifters
Use the agent to plan back-off sets that support heavy top sets without excessive fatigue.
- 03
Bodybuilders
Let the AI ensure you are hitting the necessary hypertrophy volume after your heavy work.
FAQ
Questions Back-off Set Planner owners ask.
- 01
What is a back-off set?
A back-off set is a set performed at a lower weight than your heavy top set to accumulate more volume.
- 02
How does this MCP help with muscle growth?
It helps you find the right balance between heavy intensity and the volume required for hypertrophy.
- 03
Can I use this with Claude?
Yes, you can use this MCP with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
- 04
Does it account for fatigue?
Yes, you can specify a fatigue management level, and the capability will optimize the plan to respect that constraint.
- 05
How do I know if I hit my volume goal?
You can use the volume compliance capability to see if your planned sets meet your target.
- 06
How do I use this to plan my workout?
You can provide your top set weight and reps to the get_backoff_scheme capability, or use optimize_backoff_plan to hit a specific volume goal.
- 07
What is fatigue management?
It is a setting that adjusts the intensity of your back-off sets. High fatigue management uses lower weights to prioritize recovery, while low management keeps intensity higher.
- 08
Can I check if I met my volume target?
Yes, the calculate_volume_compliance capability allows you to verify if your planned sets meet your total volume goal.
