What is the Cash Conversion Cycle?

It is a metric that measures the time it takes for a company to convert its investments in inventory and other resources into cash flows from sales.

How do I use this with Claude or Cursor?

You connect to the Vinkius-hosted MCP once, and then your AI client can call the calculation and lookup capabilities directly through the standard protocol.

Can I compare my metrics to specific industries?

Yes, the MCP includes a capability to look up industry standards for sectors like Retail and Manufacturing.

Does this MCP require me to host anything?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP, so it is ready to use as soon as you connect your client.

Can I model the impact of changing my payment terms?

Yes, you can use the calculation capability to see how adjusting your DPO or DSO affects your total cycle time.

What is the Cash Conversion Cycle (C2C)?

The C2C measures the time between paying for raw materials and receiving cash from sales. A shorter cycle indicates better liquidity.

How can I use calculate_cycle_metrics?

Provide your Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO), and Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) to see your total cycle time and potential efficiency gains.

Can I compare my performance to other industries?

Yes, use lookup_industry_standard to find benchmarks and evaluate_operational_health to see if your current cycle is optimized or critical compared to your sector.

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.

Curated set · 3 capabilities
