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.

Curated set · 1 capability

Capability set01 / 01

01

1 capability in this set.

Part of 1 available through Carbonara.

  1. 01

    Cook code image

    This capability generates a base64 encoded PNG image of your code snippet. It handles the rendering and returns a high-quality visual file.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Automate a task

Put Carbonara to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Carbonara 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 Carbonara 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.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 1 capability arrives ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Carbonara, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

Who it's for

Built for the work Carbonara owners hand off.

This MCP is built for technical professionals who need to present code visually rather than as plain text.

  • 01

    Technical Writers

    They ask the agent to create consistent illustrations for documentation and blog posts.

  • 02

    Developers

    They use it to generate clean snippets for team chats or social media posts.

  • 03

    Educators

    They generate clear visual aids for programming tutorials and presentation slides.

FAQ

Questions Carbonara owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I use Carbonara with my AI?

    Once you connect the MCP to your client, you just tell your agent to generate or 'cook' an image of your code. It uses the cook_code_image capability to do the work.

  • 02

    What file format does this MCP produce?

    The capability returns a base64 encoded PNG image.

  • 03

    Can I change the look of the code windows?

    Yes, you can request macOS-style window controls, choose between rounded or sharp corners, and apply different background colors or shadows.

  • 04

    Does it support different programming languages?

    Yes, it includes syntax highlighting with automatic language detection or manual mapping.

  • 05

    What is the 'cook' command?

    It is the natural language way to trigger the cook_code_image capability through your AI agent.

  • 06

    Can I customize the syntax highlighting theme and font?

    Yes! You can use the theme parameter (e.g., 'seti') and fontFamily or fontSize to match your preferred style perfectly.

  • 07

    Is it possible to highlight specific lines of code in the image?

    Absolutely. Use the selectedLines parameter to provide a comma-separated list of line numbers (e.g., '3,5,6') that you want to emphasize.

  • 08

    Can I add window controls like the ones on macOS?

    Yes, by setting windowControls to true, the generated image will include the classic close, minimize, and maximize buttons.
