How does the MCP handle ties in initiative?

It uses a hierarchy of tie-breaking rules, such as player age or dealer position, that you specify.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf can use this MCP.

What is the difference between fixed and shifted modes?

Fixed mode keeps the turn order the same for every round, while shifted mode rotates the order in a round-robin sequence.

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately.

How do I ensure my player data is correct for the rules I want?

You can use the validate_player_data capability to check that player profiles have the required attributes for your tie-breaking logic.

How does the engine handle ties in initiative scores?

Ties are resolved using a prioritized list of tie-breaking rules provided in the resolve_round_one capability. The engine applies these rules sequentially until the tie is broken.

What is the difference between 'fixed' and 'shifted' modes?

In 'fixed' mode, the turn order remains identical to Round 1 for all subsequent rounds. In 'shifted' mode, the player who went last in the previous round starts the next one.

How can I ensure my player data is compatible with my tie-breaking rules?

You can use the validate_player_data capability. It checks if the player profiles contain the necessary metadata (like age) required by your specific tie-breaking rules.

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.
