How does the MCP ensure the carpool is fair?

The MCP uses a fairness score based on previous assignments. It prioritizes riders who have been assigned fewer seats in the past to ensure everyone gets a turn.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

How does it prevent vehicles from being overfilled?

The validate_vehicle_capacity capability checks every assignment against the specific seat limits of each vehicle.

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using the capabilities.

Can the AI check if a specific person can ride on a Tuesday?

Yes, you can use the get_rider_availability capability to check if a rider can be accommodated on a specific date.

How does the system ensure fairness among riders?

The system uses get_fairness_score to calculate a priority score. Riders with lower historical assignment counts are prioritized for available seats to ensure equitable rotation.

Can I check if a vehicle has enough space for a new rider?

Yes, you can use the validate_vehicle_capacity capability to check the remaining seats in a specific vehicle against its maximum capacity.

How are daily schedules generated?

You can generate a complete schedule of riders, vehicles, and drivers by calling calculate_daily_assignments with the necessary rider, vehicle, and driver data.

Waiting for input…

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.

How Vinkius works: one connection, every tool, in any AI

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.
