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.

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.
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.
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.
Curated set · 4 capabilities
We ship only the actions that matter.
01-04
4 capabilities in this set.
Part of 4 available through Back-off Set Planner.

- 03
Get fatigue stimulus profile
This capability gives a qualitative look at how efficient your training prescription actually is.
- 04
Optimize backoff plan
This capability runs iterations to find the best set and rep count for your specific volume goals and fatigue limits.
Real work
What teams actually run
Post-Heavy Set Planning
Immediately calculate your back-off sets after finishing a heavy top set.
Volume Goal Verification
Check if your planned accessory work actually hits your target poundage.

One connector, every AI
Back-off Set Planner 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.

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.

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.

Who it's for
Built for the work Back-off Set Planner owners hand off.
This is for anyone serious about strength and hypertrophy programming who wants to move away from guesswork.
- 01
Strength Coaches
Hand off volume calculations and fatigue management to the AI to build faster client programs.
- 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.
