How does this MCP calculate float time?

It uses physics-based math involving board volume, rider weight, and the density of the water.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf through the Vinkius platform.

Does the salinity of the water matter?

Yes, the MCP uses water salinity to ensure the buoyancy and float duration calculations are accurate.

Will it tell me if a situation is an emergency?

The get_urgency_level capability categorizes the danger level to help you understand if immediate action is needed.

How does hardware like a leash affect the results?

The evaluate_strap_impact capability adjusts the buoyancy and retrieval math based on the specific hardware you are using.

How does salinity affect the results?

Higher salinity increases water density, which provides more buoyancy and can extend the expected float time.

Can I account for damaged equipment?

Yes, the calculate_float_duration capability includes an option to indicate if the foam core has absorbed water, which will adjust the buoyancy calculations.

How do different straps affect the calculation?

You can use evaluate_strap_impact to see how different attachment methods like a leash or footstrap impact buoyancy and retrieval ease.

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 Board Float Time.

01
Assess visibility
This capability calculates how visible your board will be on the water surface. It helps you understand if your gear will be easy to spot from a distance.
02
Calculate float duration
This capability determines the expected time a board stays buoyant after a rider falls. It uses volume, weight, and water density to find the answer.
03
Evaluate strap impact
This capability adjusts buoyancy and retrieval math based on the specific hardware you use. It accounts for how things like leashes or footstraps change the physics.
04
Get urgency level
This capability categorizes the immediate danger level of a lost board. It tells you how quickly you need to act based on the current conditions.

Real work

What teams actually run

Emergency Response

An instructor uses the urgency capability to decide if a lost board requires immediate rescue.

Pre-Session Planning

A rider checks how their specific gear setup will behave in saltwater before heading out.

Equipment Testing

A designer evaluates how different strap types change the buoyancy of a new board design.

Search and Recovery

A team uses visibility scores to plan a search area for a board that has drifted.

One connector, every AI

Board Float Time 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 Board Float Time 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 Board Float Time, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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