What can this MCP do for my backup strategy?

It predicts when your storage will run out, calculates monthly growth, and determines how much new hardware you need to buy.

How does it handle retention policies?

It uses a validation capability to ensure your retention schedules and version counts are mathematically consistent.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, this MCP works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP so it is ready to use as soon as you connect.

How accurate are the expansion estimates?

The estimates are based on the specific growth rates and target dates you provide to the capabilities.

How can I predict when my storage will be full?

You can use the calculate_exhaustion_date capability to determine the specific month when your projected data volume will exceed your total capacity.

Can I plan for future hardware purchases?

Yes, the estimate_expansion_requirement capability calculates exactly how much additional capacity you need to meet a specific target date.

How does compression affect my forecast?

The compression ratio is a key input for all forecasting capabilities. It reduces the physical footprint of the raw data, allowing for more accurate capacity planning.

Waiting for input…

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.

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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Backup Storage Forecast Engine.

01
Estimate expansion requirement
This capability calculates the exact amount of additional storage you need to reach a specific capacity target by a certain date.
02
Get monthly usage forecast
Use this to project your storage footprint month by month over any timeframe you specify.
03
Validate retention policy
This capability checks that your retention schedules and version counts are mathematically consistent.
04
Calculate exhaustion date
This capability identifies the specific date when your current backup storage will run out of space.

Real work

What teams actually run

Budget Forecasting

Ask your agent how much storage you'll need in two years to justify a hardware purchase.

Capacity Auditing

Check if your current retention settings are actually compatible with your storage limits.

Growth Monitoring

Track how monthly growth rates impact your long term storage availability.

Risk Mitigation

Identify the exact month you will run out of space to avoid backup failures.

One connector, every AI

Backup Storage Forecast Engine 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 Backup Storage Forecast Engine 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 Backup Storage Forecast Engine, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Backup Storage Forecast Engine. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
