How do I use this MCP in Claude or Cursor?

You connect your client to Vinkius once. After that, you can simply ask your agent to perform beat calculations or generate sync grids directly in your chat interface.

Can this MCP help me speed up clips to match music?

Yes. The MCP calculates the necessary speed factors required to stretch or shorten clips so they align with the beat.

What kind of output does the sync grid provide?

The sync grid provides a list of precise millisecond timestamps representing every beat within your specified timeframe.

Do I need to provide the BPM manually?

Yes, you must provide the BPM of your soundtrack so the MCP can calculate the correct intervals and timestamps.

Is this useful for motion graphics?

Yes, motion designers can use the beat interval and sync grid capabilities to time visual elements to the rhythm of an audio track.

How do I calculate the duration of a single beat?

Use the get_beat_interval capability by providing the BPM (Beats Per Minute) of your audio track. It will return the exact interval in milliseconds.

Can I generate a full timeline of beats for my entire video?

Yes, use generate_sync_grid with the BPM and total duration of your sequence to get an array of all beat timestamps.

What happens if a clip needs to be stretched to hit a beat?

The calculate_clip_snap capability calculates the required speed factor. If allowExpansion is enabled, it will find the nearest beat and tell you exactly how much to adjust the playback speed.

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

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Beat Grid Sync Calculator.

01
Calculate clip snap
This capability calculates the specific adjustment needed to align a video clip with a beat. It tells you exactly how much to shift or stretch a clip to hit the rhythm.
02
Generate sync grid
This capability creates a complete timeline of beat timestamps. It provides a list of millisecond markers for any given duration and BPM.
03
Get beat interval
This capability finds the exact duration of a single beat. It converts BPM into a precise millisecond value.

Real work

What teams actually run

Rhythmic Video Cutting

Use the sync grid to find the exact millisecond markers for every cut in a music video.

Motion Graphics Timing

Calculate the beat interval to time an animation pop to the rhythm of a track.

Clip Speed Adjustment

Determine the speed factor needed to make a clip end exactly on a specific beat.

Timeline Planning

Generate a list of timestamps to map out a rhythmic sequence before you start editing.

One connector, every AI

Beat Grid Sync Calculator 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 Beat Grid Sync Calculator 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.

Who it's for

Built for the work Beat Grid Sync Calculator owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals who need to synchronize visual movement with musical rhythm. You hand off the BPM and clip durations to your agent to get precise timing data.

01
Video Editors
They ask the agent for exact cut points to match a soundtrack.
02
Motion Designers
They use the sync grid to time animations to specific beats.
03
Music Video Editors
They rely on millisecond deltas to ensure visual transitions hit the drum or melody.
