Does this MCP account for different types of sand?

Yes. The physics model uses the type of sand (e.g., hard sand vs. soft sand) as a critical input to calculate friction and determine the required wind threshold.

What kind of data do I need to give the MCP?

You need to provide specific details about your setup, including kite size, rider weight, and the surface material you plan to use for the start.

Can I use this with my existing AI client?

Absolutely. Since this MCP is hosted on Vinkius, you connect your existing MCP-compatible client once, and you get access to this connector immediately.

Is this just a simple calculator, or does it use physics?

It's a specialized calculation engine. It uses a physics-based model to determine the complex interaction between aerodynamic lift and static friction, giving you accurate results.

What if the wind is too low?

You can use the get_minimum_wind_threshold capability to find out the lowest wind speed your setup needs. If the actual wind is below that, the MCP will warn you.

How does sand resistance affect my start?

Softer sand increases static friction, meaning you will likely need higher wind speeds or a larger kite to initiate movement.

Can I use this for different board types?

Yes, the engine accounts for different board categories like twin-tip and directional to adjust the resistance coefficient.

What is the minimum wind speed required?

You can find this by using the get_minimum_wind_threshold capability with your specific kite size and rider weight.

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 Beach Start Power.

01
Get minimum wind threshold
Determines the lowest wind speed required to initiate a beach start
02
Get optimal kite position
Identifies the ideal angular position for the kite within the wind window to maximize pull
03
Simulate start success probability
Provides a confidence score of whether a beach start will be successful under current conditions
04
Calculate start timing
Estimates the time required from the moment the rider begins the pull to the moment movement is achieved

Real work

What teams actually run

Pre-trip planning

Before leaving home, you check the forecast and use the MCP to determine if the wind speed is high enough for your specific gear setup.

Mid-session adjustment

The wind drops unexpectedly. You run the MCP to see if the current conditions are still viable for a successful start.

Teaching technique

You need to explain the physics to a student. You use the MCP to show them the ideal kite angle and the required wind threshold.

Equipment optimization

You switch from hard sand to soft sand. You use the MCP to recalculate the required wind speed and optimal timing for the new surface.

One connector, every AI

Beach Start Power 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 Beach Start Power 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 Beach Start Power, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Beach Start Power. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
